Q2 Consumer Mathematics
This page contains the Consumer Math make-up work assignments from the second quarter. Do not expect to receive any credit whatsoever for completing this work, unless you have made arrangements with Mr. Petto beforehand.

Projects & such
The following project assignments should be turned in during class on each indicated day:
Day |
Assignment |
# |
|
11/22 | “Dream Digs” Project | finding a place of your own (your personal requirements) |
4a |
12/12 | “Dream Digs” Project | final report due | 4b |
1/11 | “Spending Spree” Project | furnish your place | 5 |
Late work will be penalized up to 5% for each scheduled day that it is overdue. The formula used is:
\[adjusted\;score = {0.95^{days\;late}} \times original\;score\]
Extra-credit opportunities may be announced in class from time-to-time. In many cases you will also find these posted online: for example, noted in the slides from that day's class. Look at each one and consider whether you want to give it a try. Every successful extra-credit submission will replace your lowest homework, classwork, or bellwork score; but it does not replace a missing or poor project assignment. (And extra-credit work has no effect on projects, or quiz scores.)

Make-up work for a day’s absence is due the day following your return to class. If you complete it and turn it in on the first day you return to class, you will receive a 5% scoring bonus. Like other work, it will be penalized up to 5% for each scheduled day that it is overdue; computed using the formula above.
Oh, and here is a previous version of this page from the first quarter for your reference.
