How much homework will I have?

Count on having some type of homework every night.  If the class 
is 
reading/studying a novel together, you will be reading at least 
one 
chapter a night until the novel is  completed.  You will also be 
reading a 
book outside of class (2 per marking period).  There will also be 
two 
writing assignments per month.  Much of the homework is 
scheduled in advanced, which allows you to manage your time to 
your 
best advantage.

Can I make up work I miss?

You have one day per every day you are absent to make up work you 
miss (for example, if you are absent two days in a row, you have 
two 
days from the day you come back to school to make up the work).

Can I hand an assignment in late?

For most assignments, your grade is lowered for each day the 
assignment is late.  If there is a particulary serious issue in 
your personal 
life that has needed your attention, I can often extend due dates 
for certain 
projects and assignements.

Do you give any extra credit?

Yes.  There are several ways to receive extra credit:
You may submit contributions to the Muse for extra credit.  If it 
is 
accepted and published in the magazine, you will receive 
additional 
extra credit.  
You may also submit a letter to the editor of the Fanscotian.  If 
it is 
printed, you will receive additional extra credit.  Submissions 
to the 
Muse or the Fanscotian must be shown to me before 
you submit them.
Also, at times during the year, I will announce that if you turn 
in a 
long-term assignment early, you will recieve extra credit.
Lastly, opportunities will arise in the classroom to obtain 
additional 
information on a topic we are discussing.  These are usually due 
the next day 
and can be completed via and internet search.  you must turn a 
hard copy in 
to receive credit.

When can I come to you for extra help?

I am available every morning between 7am - 8am in room 152.  I 
can 
meet with you during period 6 in my room. 
Due to staff meetings and SCN projects, I am not always available 
after 
school.  
However, if you stop by my desk after class, we can make an 
appointment for a time that is convenient for both of us.
