Missed/Late Work and Extra Credit All assignments will be completed during class time (if you do not finish in class, you may need to take it home). THERE IS SOME WORK THAT CANNOT BE MADE UP IF YOU ARE ABSENT! It is your responsibility to get work if you are absent. Check my blog! Work needs to be turned in on time and definitely before the final due date. Some extra credit may be given – but all other work must be completed first.
