IWOC (Independent Work Outside the Classroom) is important in reinforcing

Absences:
It is your responsibility to ask the teacher for any notes/test/or materials missed
from the previous day. Students who accumulate 20 absences in this class
will NOT receive a passing grade.
Retake procedure:
If you get a low scoring grade on an assignment, you should resubmit for a higher
grade. You must also resubmit work within a week of receiving it by redoing it on a
separate sheet of paper. If you wait longer than a week, the highest possible grade
will be an 85%. Retakes MUST be completed within the quarter it was assigned.
Once the quarter is over, assignments given within it will no longer be accepted.
