I DO NOT round
grades at all!
HOMEWORK
• Usually an assignment is given daily.
• Homework will be graded daily or randomly I will
collect the assignments to review the work you should
be showing.
• Any late assignment will be graded down 50% --no
excuses/no exceptions. Need to be handed into box
labeled Algebra II homework.
– Late is being here, but not turning in the assignment that is
due.
– Not turning in work the day it is due because of an excused
absence is not late.
– School sports are not an excused absence for this
purpose because you know in advance you will be
missing class.
Homework Corrections
• Any homework can be redone for full credit
if attached to the original work except for
late work. Corrections must have name
and assignment on it also. It is to be turned
into box labeled Algebra 2 after it is
attached to the front of the original
assignment.
TESTS
• Approximately given every 3 weeks. These
will be at the end of each unit.
• A test can be retaken up until the next unit test
is given conditional upon the student making
arrangements with the instructor one day prior
to him/her wanting to retake the test. This is
also at the discretion of the instructors
schedule.
• Retakes can only be done before/after school,
during lunch or during tutorial. They will not
be given during regular class time.

chapter, email results to me prior to 12:01 AM day of the

Ipod/MP3 Players etc.
