Weekly assignments are listed on the board each Monday, and copied into the planner. These assignments should be ready when called for. A zero is recorded for missing assignments. Make-up work is completed during zero hour when a student returns from an absence. It is very important that lab work be made up immediately.
Work is made up before pre-arranged absences such as vacation or early release for sports.
Announced tests should be taken even if the student is absent the day before a test. Any cheating, whether it is on homework, quizzes, test, or lab reports results in a zero for that work. Room supplies and equipment are not to be handled without instruction. Students are responsible for any equipment broken. I reward good attendance by raising the semester test grade one grade if two or fewer absences occur during the semester.
