Late Work Policy:Work is due at the beginning of class on the day that it is due. An assignment that is “done but not present” is still late. I do accept late work until the day before a unit exam. The highest score late work can receive is a 70% C. (EXCEPTION: Group and/or presentation work must be completed on time. If a student is absent and it is excused, they will not be penalized).
