Castle Learning Review Assignments


            As we prepare for the Regents exam on June 13th, I have assigned a series of Castle Learning review assignments for you to complete.  It is important to note that these assignments are in addition to any nightly HW and/or Labs we are doing at that time.  Each assignment will be approximately 50 multiple choice questions from past Regents Exams.  The assignment Open and Close dates are listed in the chart below.  No credit will be given for late assignments or submissions, regardless of attendance or illness issues.  Please plan your work accordingly!
During the class immediately after the assignment closes, I will put the questions on the screen and we can discuss any questions you would like.  If you do not ask, I will assume you understand the material, so please ask!
These assignments will constitute a significant portion of your 4th Quarter Grade.  Please take them seriously.  This is an excellent opportunity to help put you in a good position for the exam, and also for your 4th quarter grade!
