Students should devote at least a half hour to class preparation every night. School policy will be observed in regard to lateness and absences. Skipping classes results in a 0 for class participation and for whatever assignments are due or done in class that day. If you are absent for an entire school day, you must turn in your assignment on the day you return at the beginning of class. Such absences must be communicated to me at least one day before the absence from class, otherwise you will receive a '0' in class participation for the day and will not be permitted to make up any missed quizzes or homework.
Papers are due at the beginning of class.
Late papers will be accepted up to 3 days after the due date, losing half a letter grade for each day late. After 3 days, the paper will not be accepted and the student will receive a '0' for the paper. Only serious illness or family tragedy will be considered as extenuating circumstances and warrant exceptions to the above procedures. Office Hours Students are encouraged to bring all questions and concerns to the instructor at any time. I will be able by appointment during 1st, 5th, and 6th periods or after school.
