• You will need to have your own calculator for the test. • You may not share calculators or use any type of communication device in place of a calculator. • Tests may not be made up for any reason other than a mandatory school – sponsored activity for which you must miss class. • If you miss one test for any other reason, your final exam score will be substituted for that test. A second missed test is a zero. No homework bonuses are awarded on a test when the final exam is substituted or you receive a zero on a missed test.

Be sure to complete each assignment with a score of at least 80% to receive the 10 point bonus.
