This year, you guys will be responsible for a homework assignment (nearly) each week. This schedule runs parallel with your vocabulary schedule. I will post the assignments on Friday afternoons (like the vocabulary words) and we will discuss the homework and my expectations on Monday. Each homework assignment will be due on the following Friday. Homework is 20% of your grade and each assignment will be worth 10 points. I will specify in each assignment whether it should be written or typed and printed. Pay attention because you will not receive full credit if you do not complete the homework in the correct format! DO NOT SHARE YOUR HOMEWORK! SHARED WORK = SHARED GRADE!
