Extra info
Attention…get some
Homework• Designed to prepare students for class assignments
and/or extend learning beyond the classroom.
• Students should expect some out-of-class work in the form of larger projects or assignments to assess skills and knowledge over long-range time period. In addition, much of your reading will be done OUTSIDE of class.
Late Work• Students must turn in a
“Missing Work Log” in lieu of the assignment.
• 10% of points deducted for each day late. Over 3 days = NO
Make-up Work• Responsibility of the student to check website & contact a
friend when absent.
• Work should be made up within one day for each class day missed.
• Much of the work in this class is group-based. If you are absent (with a Dr.’s note) and miss a group task, you will be asked to write an extended essay to make it up.
But really, just remember to…
and you’ll be just fine
