There is a system. Homework will be taken up and will be checked for completion. There will be random homework quizzes to check
for accuracy; but will be scored under homework. In order to help with student organization, binder checks will occur at least once each quarter and will count as a Test grade. Each quiz score is determined based on the number of questions and evaluates students homework habits.
