Evaluation Practices

Assignment and Test:
- It is expected that students will submit assignments at the
  beginning of class and write tests on time.
- Students must be present in class to get credit for pop quizzes
  and/or in-class assignments (where applicable).
- Students who are absent for homework assignments are responsible
  for finding out what was missed.
- If there are exceptional circumstances for missing a test or
  assignment due date, students should make every effort to notify
  the teacher before the time or date.

Late Assignments:
- Unless there are verifiable medical or compassionate grounds for
  lateness, or if the student has  arranged an extension before the
  due date, late assignments will be downgraded as follows:
- 10% (one letter grade)  per day for a maximum of three days.
- After a period of three days' lateness, assignments will receive a
  grade of zero (0) percent.

Missed Tests:
- To have the opportunity to write a make-up test, the student may be
  required to provide appropriate documentation. All make up tests
  will be written at a time and place specified by the teacher.
