Procedures
- The Problem of the Week (POW) will be posted one week before it is due. Most should take 45 minutes or less to complete. (Note: The first POW is already posted.)
- The POW is due at the time and date indicated on the problem. Students absent the day a POW is due should make arrangements to get it in on time. (Hint: Do it early.)
- If you feel extenuating circumstances prevent you from handing in the POW in a timely fashion, please discuss individually with the teacher.
- There are no extensions on ANY POW. Only students absent three or more days may be excused from a POW.
- Understanding that 'things happen', the last POW of each quarter will be counted out of zero points. (If you've done them all, then it's a potential 10 points extra credit).
- In the event of school cancellation, check the opening page of this website for the latest information.
Rules
- You may NOT work on the POW during class. Violation will result in a grade of zero for that POW.
- You may ask your teacher at ANY (appropriate) time for assistance with the POW.
- You may use your texbook, notes, class website, calculator (when permitted), teachers, and each other as resources for your work. Any student suspected of using an inappropriate source shall receive a zero for the POW.
- One point deduction for missing cover sheet (when there is one)
- One point deduction for no staple
- One point extra credit if a COMPLETED POW is turned in 24 hours or more in advance of scheduled due date and time..
