** Guidelines & Expectations: **
 * Come to class prepared to participate in a meaningful way.
 * All regular work must be turned in on the day it is due. Using an extension is the only way to receive credit for late work.
 * Once per quarter, each student will be given a **one-day** extension on the minor assignment of his or her choice. Using an extension will **not** lower your grade. Students who turn in all assignments on time and do not use their extension will receive three "replacement points" at the end of the quarter.
 * Two days per/excused absence will be given to make up missed work. You are responsible to find out what is due.
 * Major projects should be turned in on the due date even if you have an excused absence. If you are unable to get your project physically to school, you need to call or email me to communicate why and secure permission to turn the project in the following day. Extensions do not apply to major assignments unless a student arranges for an extended deadline with the teacher **prior** to the due date. Major assignments turned in within five school days of the due date will receive a maximum grade of a 79% and may or may not receive a full edit. After five school days, the maximum grade is a 60% and will not receive any written feedback. Other than quizzes and tests, any on-time, graded assignment may be re-done for half the points lost on the original graded paper (If you had an 80%, you could earn a 90%; if you had a 60%, you could earn a 75%).
 * Display a positive attitude in class, refraining from any form of complaining, whining, gossip, or negative talk.
 * Alternative assignments may be allowed if a student writes a proposal and submits it one day after the original assignment is given. No extra time will be given for alternative assignments.
 * Respect the teacher's voice and the voice of every student in our learning community; listen attentively and refrain from talking when I speak; give your full attention to the contributions of others, and participate without dominating the conversation.
 * Honor the concept of the threshold: Respect the ideas, reputation, possessions, and work of other students at all times.
