Homework Policy Homework will be given almost every day. All assignments are due at the start of class. Students may have a mutually- agreed upon extension if legally absent. All late work not turned in at the beginning of class will be considered late and will be given a maximum of ½ credit once turned in. It may be turned in up until the unit test for that particular topic of study. I will collect homework or check for completion at the beginning of class; either way, it counts. Copied work is never accepted.
