Students receive in-class work time for homework. They will be bringing home anything they don't finish. Additionally, I rarely assign homework to be due the next day. Students will have time to complete assignments in the classroom if they use the time appropriately :)
Tests: Students may complete corrections for up to a maximum of 80% (C). Only scores of less than 80% are eligible to make corrections. All corrections are due within one week of taking the test.
Assignments: Assignments may also be corrected. Corrections may be completed only if the assignment was submitted on time. Corrected work may earn up to full credit.
Late Work: Late assignments are not eligible for corrections. A percentage of points may be deducted per day missing.
Late Work Freebie: Every student will receive one freebie for late work. This assignment can be corrected for full credit. Incomplete assignments count as late. Freebies will be marked in the gradebook as such.
Purpose: Corrections are meant to help students learn from mistakes, not as a shortcut for not preparing.
Mrs. Kreider does have the final say on what can/cannot be corrected.
