***Any date that does not have a grade specifically attached to it may have a participation grade assessed. Students are expected to use class time on the assignments as noted to stay on schedule - students who are wasting time, talking, sleeping, daydreaming, playing on their phones, etc. will lose points on participation grades.***
***Students who have not completed a major phase of the paper will not be allowed to continue to the next step until the previous major step is completed. You cannot write a rough draft without research. You cannot produce a final draft without first writing a rough draft.***
***Late assignments will be penalized per the grading policy regardless of the type of grade attached. Assignments will be accepted up to three days late with a 30 point penalty. Assignments will be accepted beyond that at the teacher's discretion and will be penalized 50 points.***
