14. Late Work
The Policy is….
one day late and that is it.

15. Late Work con’t.. Absences
If you are absent the day an assignment is due, you will hand it to me as soon as you return. No questions asked.
If you are absent the day of a test and/or quiz, you will take that test and/or quiz the day you come back in. No questions asked.
If you are absent during a lab day, try to come in anyway. But, if you decide to stay home, you will have to make it up after school, during a lunch, during a study hall, during another class, during one of my free periods within a timely manner (1 week) or it is a zero.
If you are absent for an extended period of time, we will get together when you come back and discuss an appropriate time table for you to complete your assignments.

16. Finding Percents
You will need to know how to determine your grade for every assignment. I do not give percents, I give you points.
For Example
You receive 30 points out of a possible 40 and it is written in red ink on your laboratory paper like so: 30 40
What is the percent earned?

17. Finding Percents con’t..
You must do the following:
Step 1
30 divided by 40 = .75
Step 2
.75 multiplied by 100 = 75%
