Assignment FAQ Answers:

• I DO NOT assign homework but if you have work that was not finished in class you may need to complete it outside of class

• Students - if you have a question about an assignment or grade, it is best if you send me an email (yourself) or come see me after class.

• For students who are absent on the day an assignment is due, despite having attended all previous class periods, it is anticipated that they submit the assignment upon their return. Those who are absent during the assigned timeframe for completing assignments will be afforded an equivalent timeframe for completion, aligning with the schedule provided to their peers.
