Homework Innovative Technology Report due every 6 weeks. There is a format to follow on my website. Make-Up Work It is the students’ responsibility to inquire about missed work. Students will make up missed daily work during tutoring in B205 or B201 and completed within five school days from returning to school. After that, Late Work policy applies. If a test, quiz or assignment due date is missed, it must be made up during tutoring upon return to school. Failure to do so may result in a zero for the test/quiz missed. Late Work Assignments must be turned in on their due date. If your work is late, you MUST put your name on the dry erase board near my desk otherwise you will NOT get credit for the work. Turned in the next class period = deduct 11 points (Grading starts at 89) Two class periods late = deduct 21 points (Grading starts at 79) Three class periods late = deduct 31 points (Grading starts at 69) Zeros will be given if a student fails to make up work within an acceptable period.
