Leave room for me or an FA to enter a grade for the assignment. The exception to this is when an assignment handout contains a form for you to enter answers into blanks or charts. Then you may enter the information in block print, by hand. Homework is of no benefit to me - it is of benefit only to you. You get credit toward your daily average grade.
Homework helps to review for exams.
It is up to you how much benefit you derive from homework. If you and a fellow classmate have an important matter to discuss, remove yourselves, quietly, from the classroom and take the discussion outside. Do not return during that hour, but do rejoin the class at the next meeting. If you are late coming to class, quietly take a seat at the back of the class for that hour. You have already been marked absent.
