Late Work:
Let me know when there are special circumstances when work cannot be completed within the two days given for each day missed. Assignments are expected to be turned in when they are due. If you have a late assignment you will be given a 65% (D) on the assignment when you turn it in for the first day it is late and a 50% (F) if the assignment is two days late.
* Remember to still turn it in because a "D" or "F" is better than a "0"
* If you are gone for any reason it is your responsibility to see me outside of class time on what
you missed!
Extra Credit: No extra credit is given.
