Study Notes

Course Grading Policies

Emphasis on academic integrity where students take responsibility for their own learning.
Students are expected to embody the “4Rs”: Respectful, Responsible, Resourceful, and Resilient.
Plagiarism and cheating are strictly prohibited, with serious academic and disciplinary consequences.
First offense results in a notice to student and parents, plus opportunity to redo the assignment for partial credit.
Second offense results in a zero for the assignment without the possibility of makeup.

Late Work Policy

Assignments must be submitted by the due date; late submissions accepted up to two weeks late.
Work submitted within one week late earns up to 3 points (equivalent to a B); submissions after one week earn up to 2 points (equivalent to a C).
Consistent and timely work submission is encouraged to enhance learning.
Exceptions made for specific extenuating circumstances such as illness or emergencies, but must be discussed with the teacher.
Late work is not accepted during the final week of the quarter.
