A missing assignment is the student's responsibility to address. Students should check the class website and/or Google Classroom to identify missing work and communicate with me if they need clarification or support.
Quality Matters
Quality Matters
Assignments should demonstrate genuine effort and understanding. Completing an assignment simply to receive credit is not the goal. Students should use this as an opportunity to practice skills, strengthen their understanding, and prepare for success in class.
Need Help?
Need Help?
