HOMEWORK
The amount of homework turned in should be 100%. Work is due on the due date. When homework consists of reading, it is necessary that it is completed, as material will be covered on quizzes and/or unit tests. It is statistically impossible to pass this class without regularly turning in homework and completing in-class work. When you are given time in class to work on an assignment, you are expected to use it.
