Students have both a textbook and an interactive textbook (IT) that can assist in preparation for tests. Labs are conducted in class to build upon student's knowledge of the material. Students receive outline and vocabulary sheets in class at the start of each chapter. Students are expected to work on these primarily at home as we work on each chapter. They are welcome to take home their textbook or access the textbook online to assist in completing this material. Sheets are due on the day of the test and count towards 10% of a student's grade. Students may want to utilize the online resources from the textbook series to help understand the material. Often times within the computer lab, we utilize some of the following resources.
