Other Information
Late work, assignments not turned in by the due date, will earn a 50%.
To avoid zero credit, students may turn in late assignments for partial
credit before the end of the specific unit the assignment takes place
Make up work will be equal to the number of days absent. It is the
students responsibility to arrange the make-up date and time for
quizzes and assessments. After five days of being in class without a
quiz make-up, it will be counted as zero.
Extra credit is available! One extra credit assignment for the trimester
can be discussed with the teacher during office hours. This can add a
maximum of 10 points to any assessment (except the Final Exam). This
needs to be proposed and completed at least two days before the
Review Day.
