***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.***
