HOMEWORK+PACKET!!!

Several people in ths class could be doing much better, if they only did their homework. Homework counts toward your final grade, and it helps reaffirm what you are learning in class. You need to take responsibility for your learning, and part of this responsibility includes getting your work done on time AND handed in. I can not give credit for work that I do not receive.

You will have until ** __MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23__ ** to submit any and all late assignments. **__No exceptions.__**

As a reminder, the last few weeks your homeworks have been uploaded to this website, so even if you forget/lose your work it is available to you outside of school. If you are unsure of what assignments you have not received credit for then you need to contact me OUTSIDE of class time. (before school, after class, after school, or via email)

I do not want to punish students who have done the work that I have asked and done it on time, and you were told at the beginning of the school year that late homework would not be accepted. So, the maximum amount of points you can receive is 75% of the original value. (For example, if the assignment was worth 4 points, you can now earn 3 as a maximum.) If you have missed many assignments then having several 3s as opposed to 0s will assuredly help you!!!!
