projects, and other forms of assessment as assigned by the teacher
HOMEWORK/LATE WORK:
Homework and any other assignments must be handed in on the due date. Since we generally go
over homework in class, homework will not be accepted late. Your homework is late if you do it in
the classroom on the due date.
You are responsible for missed homework and any other work done in the class when you are
absent. Check the missed work files when you return.
Projects and other non-homework assignments with a specific due date will be accepted a maximum
of three days late with a letter grade reduction applied to each late day.

ACTION PLAN:
It is your responsibility to check your grade on a regular basis. If the grade is a D, you need to
make arrangements immediately to meet with me and discuss your course of action to improve your
understanding of the material. Remember, I am here to help you succeed but it is ultimately your
effort that will earn you a passing grade.
CHEATING:
Any evidence of cheating will receive the consequences established for such offense in the student
handbook.
Please note that the use of Google translator or any other translating service is considered cheating
as well as the copying of homework, tests, quizzes, or projects.
