Getting Warmed Up

Sometimes it is hard to get back in the habit of proofing your work, answering in complete sentences, and reading the examples and instructions in the books and online.

If you have been earning less points than you would like on your assignments, now is the time to figure out why and fix it! Creating good habits now will make the year a smooth and successful one.


Here is how:

  • Look over the assignment(s) that you aren't happy with.
  • Reread the instructions and examples.
  • Redo the assignment, being careful to follow the instructions carefully and proofread your work.
  • Email me your corrections. Be careful to include the subject, the assignment #, the section title, and the problem #.


If you don't know why you received a grade lower than you expected, email me and we can discuss it!

Curriculum Corrections


Have you found an error in the curriculum? If so, help me to fix it and earn extra credit points.

If you suspect an error or typo in the curriculum materials on Launchpad or in your workbooks, email me about it. If you are correct, you will earn one extra credit point the subject the error was found in.

If you catch errors in my communications, (emails, blog posts, etc.) you can earn one extra credit point in English for your proofreading and follow up skills!

This will continue all year, so stay sharp and earn extra credit by helping Visions be more accurate :)
