Issues
of Credit Do
not plan on incomplete or late work getting consideration for credit of
any sort. Just turning work
in does not constitute points. Quality
work is expected. Grades
posted on-line (student-connect / parent-connect) approximately every two weeks, allowing students to monitor
progress, check for discrepancies and/or missing assignments.
Missing
work due to excused absence? Interested
in rewriting a major paper? Once
grades posted, students have until next posting to get work turned in to
instructor. After this time
frame, no adjustments will be made. Extra
Credit opportunities are instructor’s option not the student’s
right. Extra Credit to be
posted includes local/professional theatre, approved writing
contests/literary magazine, cultural expansion opportunities, community
service. Individual EC
opportunities are not available. Save yourself from future disappointment and assume you have homework every night. There are always several things in the works, so students will have choices to make during class, as well as deciding what should be taken home. |
