Academic Ethics:

Make-Up Work

When you are absent, it is your responsibility to get your make-up work. Make-up work notes/handouts will be placed in the make-up work file by the printer. The assignments should be posted on my web site or it will be your responsibility to ask me for the assignments that you missed while you were out.

You will be given one class meeting day to complete work for each class day you were absent. (Work should be made up during tutorials.) If you missed a test, it will be your responsibility to make an appointment with me to make up your test. Tests cannot bemade up during the class period. Your appointment must be no later than one week after the test is given. If the test is not made up within the one week time period, you will receive a grade of zero on the test.

Late Work

Short-term and long-term assignments turned in one day late will result in a grade no higher than 75; two to five days late will result in a grade no higher than 70; and over five days late will result in a grade of zero. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS.
