Summative assessments are due on the due date for full credit. Summative skills build on one-another; therefore, you must complete one summative before the next. If a summative is turned in later than the specified due date, 10% of the total possible score will be deducted for each day it is late, up to 5 days. We will adhere to district make-up work policies regarding excused absences, as outlined in your student handbook. Please make note of an absence in the top margin of your work if this is the reason you turn it in after the due date. Keep in mind that if I have graded and entered an assignment before you have turned your make-up assignment in, it will show as zero in the grade book, regardless of circumstances, until it you turn it in, and I have had a chance to grade it. If you know you are going to be gone (e.g. on a field trip, out of town, have an appointment, etc.), on the day an assignment is due, you must turn it in prior to leaving. If you are absent during a project, you still must turn the project in on time. Please talk to me ahead of time if you know you have situations looming or things coming up. Academic Honesty Refer to your Student Handbook for details. In general, academic dishonesty includes copying or allowing copying, using unauthorized aides or tools, giving or receiving knowledge of an assessment, plagiarizing, allowing another to do your work, falsifying data, borrowing words or ideas without appropriate citations. A student receives a zero or no credit for any assignment attempted or completed through cheating. I may require the student to complete the assignment or the student may be referred for other disciplinary action. This is not a research paper. Your essay about Death of a Salesman must be an original analysis (your own ideas in your own words). If you do include any other persons analysis, words, or ideas, they must be properly quoted and documented following MLA works cited guidelines, and any borrowed ideas should be a small percentage (-5%) of the analysis. If you do not properly cite outside sources (or if you turn in a paper that is primarily other sources ideas), it is considered plagiarism (or a research paper), and the paper will receive a zero.
