Turning In Work

Projects and components of projects will have due dates. Students must responsibly utilize time during class blocks to complete their 3D Design work. Students must also use their time outside of class to complete anything turned in after the expected deadline. Handling time and managing work will have a learning curve this year that everyone will need to adjust to but we must do our best.

Any work turned in after the due date will have a 10% point deduction from the score- for example: 10% of 100 points = 10 points, 10% of 20 points = 2 points, 10% of 10 points = 1 point

Make-up Work

It is the student's responsibility to get and complete any make-up work. Assignments must be complete in order to turn in, please do not turn in partial work. Make-up work or late work is required to be turned in one week before the end of the semester.

EOP: Extra Opportunity Time

EOP is every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 1:55-2:35. It is an extra period offered to students to log on and receive help with projects or complete make up work. EOP will be assigned as needed to students who need to complete work or work one on one with myself or a peer tutor. If EOP is skipped when assigned the student will be assigned a second EOP and parent contact will be made. Extra opportunities provided by teachers are always meant to help students succeed and should not be considered a punishment.
