Grade and Assignment Update

Students,
I re-read all lab reports that have been revised and resubmitted. If your score changed then your grade changed. If you don't see a change in your grade that means your revisions did not raise your score.

You will not receive points for late "enrollment" in GIZMO. HOWEVER, you have 2 new technology assignments that outweigh the enrollment. So, it is very important that you do them and do them well. The Student Exploration Guide (SEG) and the Assessment Questions (AQ) are both due on or before Friday, October 1. I do not expect any late AQ scores. I get those electronically and will pick them up at 7:31 AM. If you haven't turned in your SEG by Friday then give it to my sub on your way to first period on Friday. See you in school.

2. COMPLETE the Student Exploration Guide as you work the GIZMO. Be certain to read the directions carefully and to follow them. Write your answers on the guide.
3. AFTER completing the guide do the Assessment Questions.
4. Check your answers. Your grade will be recorded electronically.
