Late Work Policy

I will be giving all students two Tiger Passes which will allow students to turn in an assignment late without penalty for up to five days. If the passes are not used then they can be turned in for extra credit at the end of the quarter.
Details are below:

Assignment Due-Date Policy

1. Assignments are due the next day--unless stated otherwise.

2. Late work is accepted only for the following reasons:

Excused absence on the day of the assignment or on the due-date extends the due-date by one day.
Tiger Passes that are filled out and turned in with the late assignment extend the due-date up to five school days for 100% of the earned grade.
Unused Tiger Passes are worth 3 points each at the end of the quarter.
Tiger Passes may be used in combination with an excused absence.

Extra Credit - 5 or 10 points added to the total number of points in a grading period. It is like adding 5 or 10 points to a test that has normal weighting. For example, if you made 15 points on a 28 point test you could bring it up to 25 points. Extra credit is designed to help students who have all of their work turned in and is usually pretty demanding and time consuming. Consider how few points you will get when you commit to doing extra credit.

All extra credit must be approved by me before starting the work. I will tell you up front what the likely number of points will be. The intention is that the student will learn more about some aspect of Physics while helping other students to understand as well. Extra credit work will almost always be something that gets constructed for classroom use or display.

I have many ideas for projects that would get immediate approval. Limit of two extra credit projects per year and only one for any nine week period.
