Students will be assessed at the end of each chapter, after completing all google classroom assignments, on your class work and participation and at the end of the semester.  

Upon returning from an excused absence, the student is to arrange with the teacher to make up any work missed. All concepts and demo problems are available online (SEE BELOW).  After a week late the assignment is a zero.  A fair and reasonable amount of time will be made to accommodate students with lengthy absences. Google Classroom will house most of our work so that makeup work don't have to actually be makeup work.
