Homework Completion Rubric

This rubric will be used to grade homework for a completion grade. Late homework may be accepted by the end of the next school day (3:29 PM), but two points will be deducted from the score obtained using the rubric below. Please note that the next school may occur on a day the class does not meet. Homework that is turned in after the end of the next school day will not be accepted. Students may lose the privilege of turning in late work, if it becomes habitual.
