Almost all quizzes and tests can be retaken. In every case, the new grade is recorded in addition to, not in replacement of, the original grade. Please be ready to hand in a **hard copy** of an assignment on the due date. If you are having printer problems, address those before coming to class; leave yourself enough time to do so. I encourage you to e-mail me with any questions or concerns, and I promise to check my e-mail twice each night, the last time being at about 10:00 pm. ehudson@ccps.org Make-up Work Make-up work must be turned in within two days following an absence unless the student and I agree to an extension. Work missed due to a lawful absence will receive full credit. The grade on work missed due to an unlawful absence will be lowered one grade. Please see the CCPS chart on the front bulletin board. Late Work Late work is strongly discouraged. However, work will be accepted one day after the due date with a 10% penalty or two days late with a 20% penalty. Work turned in three or more days late cannot receive a grade higher than 65%. Please note: If you are in school—regardless of whether or not a game, an appointment, etc., takes you out of this class—you are expected to turn in all work due that day and to find out that evening’s assignment.
