Grading Policies

1. //Homework// is to be turned in on the day for which it is assigned. Credit will only be given for //homework// turned in on time. //Homework// refers to any //overnight// assignment. If a student is absent the day such an assignment is due, it is to be turned in the day he/she returns to school. 2. //Long-term assignments// or //greater value assignments// will be accepted late, but with a penalty of 10% a day. If a student is absent or out of class on the day such an assignment is due, he or she may send it with another student, give it to me before he/she leaves or email it to me by 3 o'clock and not be penalized. Absence from class will no longer give students a "grace period," thanks to technology! This is in line with college requirements...might as well get used to it now. 3. //In-class assignments// **usually** __cannot be made up__, since they are based on in-class activities that cannot be repeated. This will not hurt the occasional absentee, but can definitely damage the grade of a student who habitually misses school.*


 * Please note—I tend to offer plenty of bonus opportunities. This can help out the student who misses an in-class activity or who does poorly on a test, but will by no means be enough to make up for not doing assignments or not coming to school!
