<strong>English</strong> <strong>12</strong><br />
Mrs. Duval<br />
Late Work:<br />
o If a daily assignment is turned in one day late, you will receive 50% credit.<br />
For example, if homework is assigned on Monday, due on Tuesday, and you<br />
turn it in on Wednesday, then it will be considered late; therefore, resulting<br />
in half credit.<br />
Make-up Work:<br />
o Make up work will be accepted (for full credit) if you have an excused<br />
absence. *Remember, you get a one-day make-up for each day your absence<br />
is excused.<br />
o If you have an unexcused absence, you do not receive any credit for daily<br />
work, unless it is a quiz or a test.<br />
Extra Credit:<br />
o Extra credit is not offered in my class; therefore, it is important to complete<br />
all daily work and adequately prepare for tests and quizzes.<br />
Classroom Rules:<br />
o Come to class On Time and Be Prepared (have materials ready)<br />
o Follow Directions<br />
o Respect each other’s property and opinions<br />
