Lab activities are due at the end of each lab activity day. If you miss the lab activity, you can make it up 4th period or after school if you have an doctor's excuse. If you do not have an excuse, you forfeit the points for that activity.
The team teaching assignment is due on either Tuesday or Thursday of the week assigned. A late teaching assignment will receive a grade of zero, unless you have a doctor's excuse.
Midterm and final will consist of 50% instructor assigned essay questions and 50% student written multiple choice, true/false and short response questions.
