ADVANCED FUNCTIONS AND MODELING (AFM)

 Welcome to Advanced Functions and Modeling (AFM).  I am Mr. Stanley and I am eager to start the upcoming semester.  I have some exciting activities arranged for AFM.  Hopefully you will learn a few things as the year progresses.  So let's begin and get the boring stuff out of the way (materials needed, rules, grading procedures, etc.)

 
A.    CLASS MATERIALS
        You will need the following items in class everyday:

        -  pencils (no pens in this class)
        -  AFM textbook (NOT ENGLISH, BIOLOGY, OR HISTORY)
        -  3-ring binder with loose leaf paper and graph paper
        -  Calculator (TI-83, TI-83 plus, or TI-84 family)


 
B.    CLASS RULES & EXPECTATIONS

Please print and sign a copy of the Class Expectations form on my website.  Consequences for breaking these rules are further outlined in the Student Handbook.


 
C.    GRADING PROCEDURE
        The grading policy is as follows:

        Test                                           55 %
        Quizzes                                      30 %
        Homework  / Classwork            15 %

Seventy percent credit will be given for late homework turned in one day late. Fifty percent credit will be given for late homework turned in two days late.  Homework will not be accepted after this time.  If absent the day of a test, you will have three days to complete the test at a time convenient for you and me.
