| Homework
Policy:
Homework
is not busy work. It is not punishment. And, it is not
optional. Every homework assignment is worth four points.
Those submitted one day late are given two points. Anything
afterward receives no points. At the end of the trimester,
all assignments are combined to form a test grade, with a weight
of 2. Please do not underestimate the effect of timely homework
on your overall grade. Note: This policy does not apply
to longer-term assignments, i.e., IRA's journal entries, essays,
and major papers.
