1. All assignments are due on the date
designated by the teacher. A grade of 75% or less will be assigned
for all unexcused late assignments. An assignment turned in
on the due date but after the class period is also considered late.
Only a hardcopy of the assignment will be accepted. No disks will be
accepted, and students will not be dismissed from class to print out
an assignment. This means that students should make prior
arrangements to avoid computer glitches if a word processing program
is used.
A student with an excused absence has one
extra day for each day absent to turn in missing assignments. Full
credit will be awarded for excused assignments turned in within the
time limit. Missing assignments or assignments turned in past the
deadlines will receive no credit.
2. Due dates for any assignment that encompasses a
week or longer are absolute. For sequential assignments, all
parts must be completed in order to receive any credit.
3. Tests, quizzes, and any other make-up work may
only be completed on the day the teacher announces. Unless other
arrangements are made and agreed upon by your teacher, any work not
made up will receive a grade of zero.
4. It is your responsibility to turn in late work
and make arrangements
to make up any tests or quizzes. Your teacher will
not interrupt class to ask for late assignments or to schedule a
time for you to make up a test.
5. Students may not go to lockers to get
paper, writing utensils, texts, assignments or other materials
needed for class.
6. If an assignment is illegible due to
handwriting or color of ink, the paper will be
returned to the student ungraded and he or she
will have one day from the day the paper is returned to rewrite or
type the assignment and turn it in for full credit.
7. Each assignment completed must have the
student’s name, date that the work was turned in to the teacher, and
class period in the upper right-hand corner of the paper. Ten points
will be deducted from the assignment if any information is missing.
8. It is English Departmental policy to refer to
Intersession only those students who have exhibited consistent
effort throughout the nine weeks. Intersession will not be used to
remediate poor grades due to lack of effort or unexcused absences.
