CLASSWORK &
HOMEWORK
UNIT 1 – 8000 BCE to 1450 CE
~ From the
syllabus ~
If you know you will be absent on the day of a test
or a quiz, you are expected to take it ahead of time. If you miss
an assessment/exam for an excused absence, you will have 2 school days from the
date of your return to make it up or it will become a zero in the gradebook.
Exams missed for an unexcused absence will result in a zero grade. Late
work is worth half credit and is due no later than the end of the unit during
which it was assigned. Work will be considered late if it is not turned
in at the beginning of the period or when it is collected during class; work
turned in after the completion of the unit will not be accepted.
