| Extra Help |
| One of the great things about Lowell is the flexibility of the modular schedule. I'm usually available to meet with math students in room 334
(the computer lab) for tutoring and extra help from mod 8 to mod 13, as well as before school.
MATH TUTORING: In addition to meeting with me during my free mods, Math students have several options for free tutoring:
- Students can request a peer tutor from CSF in room S106.
- The Math club offers peer tutoring after school on Thursdays in room S-201.
- Math teachers are available all day in room 344 for tutoring.

| Grading Policy |
In my computer classes grades for each six week marking period are based on a weighted average of quizzes (70%), assignments (20%) and class participation (10%) for that grading period. The class participation grade is a subjective grade based on your productive use of lab time. The semester grade is the average of the three six week marking period grades and the final exam.
In my math class, the grade for each six week marking period is the average of the test grades for that marking period. Homework is collected every test day and missing homework may have a negative effect on that test grade. The semester grade is the average of the three six week marking period grades and the final exam.

| Attendance |
| Timeliness and regular attendence are critical. Citizenship is based primarily on tardies and/or class cuts as well as in-class behavior. 3 tardies in a 6 week period results in an W. Any cuts result in a U. |
