 * //Your Grade will be based on Homework, Classwork, Quizzes, Tests and Projects/Labs. I will assign readings that will benefit you, please read the sections assigned, test questions will come from the reading as well as my notes. You will have many opportunities to earn points, I DO NOT offer extra credit very often (maybe 3-4 times per year) and they do not count for many points (2-5 points each). Homeworks are worth many more points so do your homework DO NOT expect Extra Credit to boost your score.//**
