Home Learning 2016 / 2017
Home Learning Policy: Students will bring home learning assignments in on the date due for full credit, and put it in the “Assignments” box by the door on the way in, or hand it in through their Edmodo account. All written work is to be the student’s own words, not text that is copied and pasted from other sources (Plagiarized). Any assignment with text that is copied without proper citation will receive an automatic “0.” This will also result in being written up for breaking the MBSH Academic Integrity Policy.
Home Learning Turned in Late: Any student not having the home learning assignment at the beginning of class on the day due will receive a Zero. To receive credit for late work, the student must turn in the assignment the very next class period, and the assignment will not receive a Zero. An assignment turned in late, the next class after the due date, will receive a two (2) letter grade drop (to a C, if it was an A.) No home learning assignments will be accepted after one class period after the due date, without a valid excused absence and admit to class. The teacher is not responsible for collecting late home learning assignments. It is the responsibility of the student to make up their work. All assignments are located here, on the class website 24/7, and explained in detail in class.
No assignments are accepted by email. Written assignments are to be printed by the student. If a printer is unavailable at home, at a friend’s, at a neighbor’s, a relative’s or The Media Center, students may use my printer as a last resort, before or after school, or during lunch #2, but NOT during class.
