  9. Grading • Homework is given 3-5 times per week. If it was important enough for me to assign it, it’s important enough for you to do it! Spend quality time on it. • Labs/Projects will be worth 20-100 points, depending on the time involved in the lab itself and the write-up requirements. • Quizzes are a series of short answer, fill-in, multiple choice and matching designed to keep you on track. They are worth 35-75 points each depending on length. • Tests are generally multiple choice format with a short answer section. They are designed to assess your concept understanding, improve your testing skills as well as prepare you for state tests.

  10. Late Work • Your assignments are due at the BEGINNING of a class period. If you don’t have them completed when you walk in the door, they are late. • Late work is to be completed in a detention after school or during lunch. • Completed the day it was due: 5% deduction • Turned in the following day: 15% deduction • Turned in two days late: 25% deduction • Late work will not be accepted after the third day, as the class has likely moved beyond that point and it will only keep you further behind. • If you have confusion or need help, ask me ASAP.
