Late Work • All work turned in after the assigned day/time will receive (this does not include long term projects): • Maximum grade for late work = 80 • Minimum grade for late work = 50 • When a student does not turn in an assignment prior to the end of a term, a grade of zero can become part of the average for that term at the discretion of the teacher • Students with any missing work will be ineligible for exemption from final exams
Redo’s • Teachers will select which work done by a student qualifies for the redo opportunity • Students are expected to attend remediation sessions or complete other learning tasks on non-class time in order to earn a better grade on the assignment • The redo opportunity is not allowable on long term assignments & exams • The opportunity to redo can be rescinded if a student abuses the opportunity
Make-Up Work • You WILL NOT make up test or other work for this class or other classes during this class period unless I have given permission to do so. • At the end of each 9 weeks you will no longer be able to make up any missing work from that 9 weeks or any of the previous 9 weeks.
It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to find out what you have missed and need to make up and to set up a time with me to make up the work. I will not come to you and tell you!
