Late Work Policy - Deadlines

As a CTE (Career & Technical Education) Teacher, one of the things I emphasize in my classroom is helping students prepare for post-secondary success. In Accounting I & Accounting II, the main "employability skill" focus is on meeting deadlines. As such, the following late work policies apply:

For daily assignments:

  • Daily assignments not completed by the due date will have 10% of their earned score deducted each day a project is late, until an assignment is worth 0 points. Late work deductions will begin 1 day after the assigned due date to allow students the opportunity to finish their late work during WIN.

For projects:

  • Each project will have 2 separately graded components:

    1. How well the project demonstrates mastery of the content and includes the required components. Projects not completed by the due date will have 10% of their earned score deducted each day a project is late, until a project is worth 0 points. Late work deductions will begin 1 day after the assigned due date to allow students the opportunity to finish their late work during WIN.

    2. Whether or not the project met the deadline. This component is worth 10 points - students will receive 10/10 if their project was completed by the due date and 0/10 if their project was not completed by the due date. This grade is separate from the actual project score; this grade will not be improved even if the project is turned in late.

Communication Skills

Another very important employability skill is communication. In this class, a large emphasis is placed on being able to effectively communicate with others. Projects and presentations will have a communication component in which students are expected to communicate clearly and effectively to receive the communication points. Students will be assessed on how well they:

  • Communicate clearly and articulate their words

  • Use eye contact and appropriate body language

  • Respond to the audience's questions and feedback
