Homework will be graded daily or randomly I will collect the assignments to review the work you should be showing.
Any late assignment will be graded down 50% --no excuses/no exceptions. Need to be handed into box labeled Algebra II homework.
Late is being here, but not turning in the assignment that is due.
Not turning in work the day it is due because of an excused absence is not late.
School sports/activities are not an excused absence for this purpose because you know in advance you will be missing class.
