It is the policy of this class that students who are absent and provide an acceptable excuse may make up assignments or tests the day following their return to class; the assignment or test will be scored and returned to students. Students must mark the specific date of absence and assignment number on the assignment or test. If an assignment or test is not completed on the day following the return to class, the assignment or test will be scored as “credit” and not receive a letter grade. That “credit” neither raises nor lowers the students’ overall grade average. Verified truancies and unexcused absences from class will result in no credit received for work submitted.
Vocabulary assignments must be received by due dates; five points will be deducted from test scores for work not received when due and ten points will be deducted from test scores for no work submitted. Off-track assignments must be submitted on time since no credit is provided for late assignments.
