Late Assignments *There is an expectation that all work be handed in on time. It is the responsibility of each student to know when their assignments are due and take necessary steps to hand them in on time. Homework assignments are due on the date determined by the teacher and will not be accepted late. A mark of “0” will be assigned for homework not completed on the due date. *Major assignments which are passed in late will be dealt with in the following manner: 1. 10% of the assignment value will be removed for each day the assignment is late for 4 days after the assignment is due. 2. Once the teacher has returned the marked assignment, the student will receive a mark of “0” on the assignment.
