Late Work The penalty for handing in an assignment after the due date is forfeiting 20% on any assignment that is handed in late. I am willing to waive this rule in cases of extenuating circumstances, with parent notification, or if the student requests an extension of the due date before the day the assignment is due.
One Day Extension Request Form: In order to receive NO LATE PENALTY you must have requested an extension in writing at least 24hours prior to the original due date of the assignment. Fill out this form and staple it to the late assignment. Upon completion, place late work in the appropriate basket. Teacher’s signature is required for this extension to be honored.
Turnitin.com This class relies heavily on the use of technology, and ALL drafts of essays must be submitted to turnitin.com. Because this technology requires me to set start and end times for each submission, you must submit an essay before the submission deadline. I will not award credit for drafts which fail to meet this requirement.

Academic Integrity Plagiarism of any form is a serious offense and will not be tolerated. Any violation will result in an “F” grade for the assignment. You will not be allowed to make up a plagiarized assignment for credit. Subsequent offenses will result in higher consequences and may earn you an “F” in the course. Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty which includes, but is not limited to:
1. Copying or stealing another’s work and submitting it as one’s own 2. Allowing another person to copy your work and submit it as their own 3. Doing another person’s work for them 4. Buying or selling work or answers 5. Providing another person with answers to homework, tests or quizzes 6. Copying or stealing teacher’s answer keys or teacher’s edition texts 7. Copying work from the internet without proper documentation and submitting it as their own
