Semester Tests:
Given the semester test falls during second semester, there typically is not a test (as many of you will not need to take it). However, if too many days are missed or grade is low enough, a semester test will be created for those individuals.
Second Chance:
Students may redo a piece of writing and have it regraded; a writing conference between teacher and student will be required for the second chance. Don't feel intimidated by that; it is simply there so the writer can explain and show the changes made to the original piece and why.
Late Work:
My advice - don't have any! If you are sick / absent during a deadline, you will have 2 days following the deadline to turn it in. Most assignments will be works-in-progress with deadlines given far enough in advance. Be responsible and know when your work is due. If the late assignment is not turned in after the two days, a drastic lowering of grade will take place.
Classroom Rules:
Be respectful and Be ready!
