Make the conscious CHOICE to keep track of your grades by becoming independent and responsible.  If you have an absence it is your responsibility to make up that work in a timely manner. 

• DO NOT approach me at the end of the 9 weeks regarding concerns about an assignment you did not make up in a timely manner.

• "I FORGOT" is NOT an acceptable excuse.

• PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY.  Try it! Its pretty awesome.

• DO CHECK THE DAILY TAKE when you are absent I am constantly posting daily assignments.

• You have FIVE DAYS with an EXCUSED ABSENCE to make up any missed assignments.

• AS LONG AS YOU SUBMIT YOUR PROJECT THE DAY IT IS DUE, YOU HAVE FIVE DAYS TO REVISE YOUR PROJECT FOR FULL CREDIT.  ( Often in the real world your work will go through revision phases were you must adhere to feedback and changes to your work this procedure allows you to become accustomed to this very ADULT reality.)

• IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR WORK ON TIME -  YOU FORFEIT YOUR FIVE DAYS  AND -20PTS WILL BE DEDUCTED EVERY DAY IT IS LATE UNTIL YOU HAVE A ZERO. (UNLESS YOU HAVE AN EXCUSED ABSENCE)

• THIS POLICY WILL ONLY BE IN PLACE UNTIL YOUR LAST PROJECT OF THE YEAR.  YOUR LAST PROJECT WILL NOT FALL UNDER THIS POLICY.
