Make-up Work Policy

A student will be given one class day to make up work for each excused day of absence, plus one additional day. For example, if a student misses three days of class, she will have four days to make up the work. This policy does not apply for a long-term assignments with a due date given prior to the absence. Long-term assignments are due on the due date even if you have an excused absence on the due date; no extensions.

If work is not made up before the make-up deadline (length of absence plus one day), the score will be changed from M to 0, and the student loses the ability to make it up!
