2009 - 2010
-- This IS the schedule! However, history is dynamic and always in the making; class situations are not rigid; therefore,

unforeseen events may preempt the planned schedule. You will be advised of any changes. --
Quizzes are averaged with tests, but only count about 20% as much.
CHAPTER REVIEWS are due the day before the quiz/test or 10 points off.
AS ALWAYS – see me if there is a problem – preferably BEFOREHAND!
