REVIEW SCHEDULE FOR ALGEBRA II

Throughout the year, you will go through every online Algebra I and Geometry web exercise, to assure that your foundational skills are solid and complete.

This review work will be done on your own, outside of class. Feel free to ask review questions during class: however, due to time constraints, we cannot devote much in-class time to this material. You may get as much help as needed, one-on-one, outside of class.

The points accumulated from these review exercises are a substantial part of your grade, so please take them seriously. Not only will this review help you to do well in this course, but it is also excellent preparation for standardized tests, like the SAT and ACT. The review will largely be easy points—take advantage of them! The Algebra II points will not be as easy to earn.

TIMED SHEET INSTRUCTIONS

• You must put your name (FIRST and LAST) in the input field, so that it appears on the printed timing sheet.
  TIMING SHEETS WITHOUT A FULL NAME WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
• On all timed sheets, the number correct must be at least 90% of the number attempted. This is to prevent you from just clicking quickly until you get specific problem(s) that you know how to solve.
• Please highlight the number of correct problems, and the average number of seconds per correct problem.
• Write the Miss Hall's School Honor Pledge at the top of any timed sheet.

SELF-GRADING INSTRUCTIONS

• Print out a worksheet. As soon as you pick up the solution sheet from the printer, fold it in half with the solutions inside. Do not look at it.
• Complete the worksheet, without help from any people or any resources. The worksheet should reflect your own understanding of the material.
• When you're done with the worksheet, use the solution sheet to grade it. Next to each problem, put a checkmark for a correct answer, and an "X" for an incorrect answer.
• Repeat this process as many times as desired, until you get a score you are satisfied with.
• On the top right of the sheet, mark the total number of correct problems, per the total number of required problems; e.g., 17/20. Please circle this score.
• Staple the worksheet and solution page together in the upper left-hand corner. You will only pass in one worksheet to be graded.
• Write the Miss Hall's School Honor Pledge at the top of any self-graded sheet.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

• Pass in all assignments for a given day in the order that they are listed on this sheet.
• Please write your CLASS NUMBER in the upper-right corner of the first page that you are passing in.
• ALL REVIEW ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE ON THE INDICATED "DUE DATE". Except for excused absences, no late assignments will be accepted. The normal Miss Hall's School late policy (see syllabus) will be followed for excused absences.
• Each term, you will be given FIVE FREE 5-point review assignments. This will be applied as a 25-point "bonus" at the end of the term.
• If class is cancelled or changed for any reason, the review exercises are still assigned as scheduled here. You will pass in all assignments, together, at the next class meeting.
• EACH EXERCISE WILL OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW. Close the window when you are finished.

GRADING GUIDELINES

If you do not achieve a score sufficient for full credit on an assignment, then points will be adjusted in the following manner:

• Self-graded assignments: -0.5 points for each additional incorrect problem.
  For example, suppose you must get 16/20 (16 out of 20) correct for full credit (5 points). You only get 14 correct. Thus, you lose 2(0.5) = 1 point, and earn a score of 4/5.
• Timed Sheet assignments: -0.5 points for each 20% deviation, on both number of problems done and time achieved.
  For example, suppose you must do at least 10 problems, achieving a score of ≤ 5 seconds per correct problem.
  You only do 9 problems, achieving a score of 7 seconds per correct problem.
  Number of Problems adjustment: 20% of 10 is 2; 10 - 2 = 8. Doing only 8 or 9 problems results in a 0.5 point deduction. You lose 0.5 points here.
  Time per Correct Problem adjustment: 20% of 5 is 1; times in the interval (5,6] would lose 0.5 points; times in the interval (6,7] lose 1.0 points. You lose 1.0 points here.
  Your total score is 3.5/5.
• MINIMUM SCORE: If you pass in an assignment, then you are guaranteed to earn at least 1 point (for effort).
