Why shouldn't I throw away my work after it is graded?

Your assignment, with the grade I put on it, is your only proof that it was 
submitted, graded and recorded. If by chance, Pinnacle erases the grade, you
now have the necessary proof that the assignment has a grade. If you throw
away your work, I certainly will not remember if you completed the assignment, nor
what your grade you earned on it. Additionally, you should use your assignments for
reviewing, studying & binder check.

On Pinnacle, what's the difference between a -Z- and a -0-?

The -Z- signifies that you have received a zero on an assignment (perhaps you were absent); 
however, you are allowed to make it up. If/ when a -0- appears, the grade is final.

I turned in my assignment, why don't I have a grade on Pinnacle?

1-Consider... 
+++Did I submit my work to the appropriate period "ENTREGAR" (2 submit) tray?? OR
---Did I submit it to a "TRABAJO CALIFICADO" bin? Since these bins signify "Graded work,"
Ms. Hill will never look at it; they are waiting to be returned to my classmates to
organize in their binders.
2- If the assignment was submitted after the due date, even if the absence was excused,
will be graded when Ms. Hill gets to it, since she is now grading newer assignments.
