ASSIGNMENTS. If you are a responsible listener, you will always know when
assignments are due; therefore, no late assignments will be accepted. Assignments
are generally turned in daily by the end of the class period the following school day,
if not, it is considered late. Each assignment will be worth a maximum possible
score of five points.
4.
LATE WORK COUPONS. Two late work coupons will be issued. Late assignments
must accompany the coupons before the end of the unit in order to receive credit. In
other words, the coupons do not replace doing the assignments. You could use one
or both of the coupons for extra credit points at the end of the trimester. The extra
credit points will be awarded only if ALL of your assignments have been turned in
for the trimester. No additional extra credit will be offered throughout the course.
5.
MAKE-UP WORK. If you miss class, get the notes from Synergy and/or classmate.
Also, get the assigned work from Synergy, a classmate, or the classroom assignment
calendar. You have two days to complete any make-up assignments and they must
be turned into the class period basket.
6.
TRUANCY. If you are truant on an assignment day, your assignment will be
considered late. If you are truant on a quiz or test day, you will need to complete the
quiz or test at a time designated by me.
7.
CHEATING. If you cheat on any assessment, your parent/guardian will be
contacted, you will possibly receive a score of zero, and MLC may be assigned.
8.
GRADES. I update grades frequently within our online system. Assignment, quiz,
and test scores are available, as well as your overall course grade.
9.
