Q: Where can I check my grades?

A: We miss you when you're gone! Go to the corresponding week you missed, check the slides for assignments/notes missed, and be sure to turn in ASAP. You have TWO days to turn in any absent/makeup work. If you have questions, ask your tablemates or come see Ms. Martinez :) 

Q: Do you accept late work? 

A: Yes, you may turn in late work up to 1 week from the due date. However, late work will receive maximum of a C- grade (i.e., turn in late A quality work=C-, and reduces dependent on quality/rubric of work).
