Student Expectations
AP Physics 1John Dewey High School
John Dewey High SchoolMr. Klimetz Fall Semester
Fall Semester1. Complete your homework assignments neatly and thoroughly. Each assignment must be hand-written.
Write-out all questions and show all work.
2. Arrive to each and every lecture and laboratory class on time. You must sign the late log located near the door to the classroom if you arrive after the late bell.

7. Grading scheme: Final Exam = 40%, Labs = 20%, HW = 20%, Quizzes 20%.
8. All homework and laboratory assignments are obtainable from our class website:

10. There is a zero tolerance policy concerning practices of cheating. Such practices include copying of homework assignments and lab reports, as well as any communication, either written or verbal, during quizzes and examinations. Any and all instances of academic impropriety will be punished to the fullest.
