Homework Procedures
Mr. Dawursk
Assignments:
•
As a
responsible high school student, there is no excuse for late assignments other
than a family funeral or similar family circumstance. Therefore, assignments are due the day they
are assigned. No exceptions.
•
All
written assignments are to be completed no later than the beginning of the
class period the first day it is due. On
occasion and only with prior teacher permission, some daily assignments may be turned in at the end of the school day no
later than 3:00 PM (This does not happen very often).
•
•
Incomplete
assignments are listed as a “0” in the grade book. Remember that it takes two 100% A+
assignments to raise an incomplete 0% to a passing grade. The lowest percentage
possible for any on-time completed assignment which demonstrates reasonable
student effort is 50%.
•
All
late assignments are marked 10% off per day late. For example: after three days late, the highest
grade possible for the late assignment would be a 60% D. The regular grading process will then deduct
from this starting percentage.
•
Written
incomplete assignments may be turned-in for partial credit until one week prior
to the end of the quarter. No incomplete
assignments will be accepted after that date for any reason. The highest grade
possible for assignments over one week late is a 60% D. The lowest percentage possible for any late assignment
which demonstrates reasonable student effort is 40%.
•
Students
may re-take all quizzes and exams repeatedly up to one week prior to the end of
the quarter for a maximum grade of a 60% D.
•
Hand
written notes may be used for all quizzes and exams except ones which test for
vocabulary (specific word definitions) or spelling.
•
Assignments
are not accepted via e-mail without PRIOR approval. You are responsible
to print them out and bring them to class.
The teacher will not print your assignments for you.
Format:
•
All
written assignments are to be done in blue or black ONLY. No other color will be accepted. All formal essays and reports are to be
typed. Daily assignments should be
written neatly on clean 8-1/2 by 11 inch white paper. Half sheets and papers with frayed edges will
not be accepted. All assignments are
subject to proper spelling, grammar and mechanics. Only the daily writing journal may be exempt
from these rules. All assignments must
be labeled properly in the upper right hand corner with First and Last Name,
Class Title, Period Number, Assignment Information and Date
turned-in. One grade is deducted
from assignments not using proper format (labels, pen color, edges, etc).
