Although strongly discouraged, late assignments from a chapter can be turned in ONLY UNTIL the day of the chapter test. Any assignment not turned in on time will receive half-credit OR less. If a student is absent on the day of a test/quiz, the student is required to make arrangements with the teacher to make up the missed assessment within ONE WEEK of the absence.
