Welcome

Welcome to Algebra 1

I am very excited about the possibilities for this course. Because it is online, you can schedule your learning time into your life, when it is easiest for you to learn! What matters most is that you make enough time available to be successful. The amount of time you spend depends on your learning style and natural abilities. The important issue is that you do learn the information. This is a full course of Algebra 1 and is scheduled to take most of a school year. I have given some extra time during standard holidays.

I will read the water cooler discussion board daily so that you can contact me with any specific questions you might have. Please try to be as detailed as possible so that I can help you promptly.

Your grade in this class will be based on the weekly tests as well as the weekly assignment questions, a discussion question each unit, and projects. The rubric for the first project can be seen using the link below. The amount of homework you do will depend on how much practice you need in order to be proficient. There are no re takes of tests and no dropped tests, so each one is important.

Make sure to familiarize yourself with this wiki and all the links.

Again, welcome and I'm happy to be your instructor. Email me if you have concerns that you wish to discuss confidentially.

Sincerely,

Mary Beth Homan marybethhoman@yahoo.com
