The 2008-2009 has started. Welcome to AP Physics.
Here's some course information:
Grades:
Approximately 50% Tests, 30% Labs, 20% homework
Tests: About twice a quarter, with semester finals also. Almost always items from old AP tests, which I’ll grade by their scoring system. This will cause me to adjust the overall grading scale. See below.
Labs: Although we’ll have weekly hands-on lab assignments, I’ll only have you write up formal lab reports about twice a quarter. (The first one will be due Sept. 15.) Late labs are penalized at 10% a week.
Homework: I’ll check them off for effort and completion on the due data and collect them in a packet on the test day. Show your work, be neat, stay organized. Talk to me if homework ever feels like busy work. No late homework accepted except for excused absences.
Grading Scale: 100-85 A, 85-70 B, 70-55 C, 55-40 D, 40
Supplies:
Textbook
Notebook, or section of a notebook
Calculator
Protractor
Graph Paper
AP Test: May 11, 2009. I encourage you to take it.
