Resubmitting Writing Assignments

These instructions apply to the College and Career Plans and many other future writing assignments.

1. Rewrite the assignment and print it out.
2. Attach the original graded assignment behind the corrected version.

College and Career Plans

Many of you got poor grades on the college and career plans because ...

1. You did not follow the directions
2. You did not type it in Google Docs, but instead you wrote it out
3. You did not double space
4. You listed a company instead of a career
5. You did not write four paragraphs
6. You talked about video games

Typical grammar and spelling errors:

1. You did not capitalize the word I and its derivatives
2. You did not use commas or did not use them properly

About games. Do not talk about video games in your resume, cover letter, or list of plans. It's OK to mention that you might like to be a game designer or go to a game design program in college. However, do not talk about specific video games or companies. Why? This gives the reader the sense that you would spend your time playing video games instead of working for the company. So be careful.

Math Quiz Grades

Math quiz is graded as follows.

If you got all 5 questions correct, and turned in the day we did it in class .... 12 points (extra credit)

If you got 3-4 questions correct ... 10 points (full credit)

If you got 1-2 questions correct ... 5 points (half credit)

If you got 0 questions correct or you did not turn in the quiz .... 0 points (no credit)


PM class did not do as well as AM class. A couple people got 12.

12 points .... 2 students
10 points .... 8 students
5 points .... 6 students
0 points .... 9 students

Most of the people who got 0 points did not take the quiz at all or did not turn it in. If you took the quiz and you got 0 points, you should think seriously about whether you belong in this class. This class is for people who have already taken algebra and geometry and are prepared to use them every day in this class.
