NEW GRADING POLICY
There have been numerous instances where students with excessive absences did not receive grades that reflected that fact. There is now a new grading policy that will better reflect that particular circumstance:
- If a student did not turn in work, they receive a 0.
- If they were absent from class when an assignment was given, they receive a 1 until either they turn in the work, or their grace period on make up work has ended.
- If the assignment does not apply to them, they receive an X.
- Make sure your grades do not contain any blanks.
