Late Work:
o If a daily assignment is turned in one day late, you will receive 50% credit.
For example, if homework is assigned on Monday, due on Tuesday, and you
turn it in on Wednesday, then it will be considered late; therefore, resulting
in half credit.
Make-up Work:
o Make up work will be accepted (for full credit) if you have an excused
absence. *Remember, you get a one-day make-up for each day your absence
is excused.
o If you have an unexcused absence, you do not receive any credit for daily
work, unless it is a quiz or a test.
Extra Credit:
o Extra credit is not offered in my class; therefore, it is important to complete
all daily work and adequately prepare for tests and quizzes.
