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
