Missing Work for Psych 1 You will have homework every week but not every day If I assigned it, it’s worth doing Assignments are reduced by 10% every day they’re late Grade reduction stops at 50% percent I will accept papers for up to 50% credit up until the last week before the end of the marking period

Missing Work for AP Psychology You will have homework almost every day If I assigned it, it’s worth doing Assignments are reduced by 20% the first day they’re late, 40% the second day and 50% the third day Grade reduction stops at 50% percent I will accept papers for up to 50% credit up until the last week before the end of the marking period
