Getting the best possible grade:
If you receive a score lower than a 70 on a daily/hw assignment: use a separate sheet of paper and do the problems that you got wrong. You must prove to me that you know what you did wrong. Then staple this sheet to your old assignment and write corrections on it. I will then re-grade your paper for no more than a 70.
1. Math tests and quizzes can not be corrected.
2. If you receive a score lower than a 70 on a vocabulary test, you may bring the grade to 
    a 70 by writing out all of the words and definitions 5 times. All of the words…not just 
    the ones which you got wrong.
