VI. Make-up Work: You have one day to make up work, for each day you are absent. (Up to three days, more than three days must be arranged with Coach Sparks.) It is your responsibility to ask for make-up work, I will not tell you unless you ask. Do not act surprised at progress report time if you have a zero for an assignment if you forgot to ask for your make-up work.

VII. Late Work: Assignments will have a designated due date attached to them. The assignment is due by the due date, I will deduct 20 points for late assignments each day, and assignments will not be accepted once INB has been submitted! If assignment has a presentation attached to it, and it is late, you will not be allowed to present and the presentation points will be deducted.

VIII. Field Trips: Field trips are a reward for a job well done in SEM Class. Only students who have an 85 or above, good conduct and exceptional effort in class are rewarded with a seat on the bus for my field trips. Please understand, IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE YOUR WORK, MAKE GOOD GRADES, EXHIBIT EFFORT AND BEHAVE…YOU WILL NOT GO!!!!!!!

IX. Reminder: Final exam counts 20% of semester grade and is a mandatory

VOCATS State Exam. You must take this exam to pass the class!!
