These drafts and worksheets cannot be made up without prompt submission of an official doctor's or academic official's excuse for a necessary late submission. For each day, excluding holidays and weekends, that an essay is late, its grade will be reduced by five points. Students who quickly submit late papers with a written excuse from a doctor or an academic official for a necessary late submission will not be penalized. These quizzes cannot be made up without a written excuse from a doctor or an academic official for a necessary absence, but the two lowest quiz grades will be dropped. Make-up tests may be different from original tests.
Attendance is required.
Students who enter the classroom after I have called roll or leave before the class period ends will be counted tardy. Two tardies equal one absence. Tardy students are responsible for making sure that I have marked them tardy but present. Class periods that students miss because they add the course late for any reason will be counted toward the total number of absences. All number grades will be averaged according to the percentages above.
