Homework, Tests, and Quizzes Doing physics is a very important part of learning physics, therefore, homework
will be assigned almost everyday. Homework will be corrected and discussed
the next day. Homework will be collected when needed. Tests and quizzes will
be given when needed. Tests will be announced before they will be given. Tests
(60%) will be the majority of the grade, homework (20%), projects, and labs
(20%).
Teacher Philosophy It is my goal to maintain a classroom atmosphere that is conducive to the study
of physics, and to explain all concepts to the best of my ability, in or out
of the classroom. I can provide the environment and guidance but cannot learn
for you the student. You are responsible for your learning.
I believe that a student cannot learn self discipline unless he or she has
been disciplined in a firm, consistent and fair manner. I will run my class
accordingly. Remember, every student in this room has the right to an
education without disruptive influences or distractions of any kind form other
students. I as a teacher have the right to teach without the same disruptions
or distractions from students.
