Can I turn in late work?
Students in Pre-AP Biology may NOT turn in any work late.
Students in Regular Biology have a total of 4 opportunities to turn in one
assignment late.
This applies to regular assignments only. Special projects and long-term
assignmnents will be taken at reduced credit. (see course information)
--------------------------------------
When can I make up work from an absence?
I am available to makeup labs, tests and quizzes before school on scheduled
help days and occasionally on some other days after school. Do not just show
up, let me know you are coming at least one day in advance. You also may
schedule time with me or another teacher according to the Biology and Pre-AP
Biology Help and Makeup Schedule.
--------------------------------------
How long do I have to make up work?
The district policy states that a student has one day for every day absent
to make up work from absences. I generally allow one-week for labs and tests
to be made up, regular assignments are due within the allowed time frame set
forth by the district policies. Students who have special circumstances
should talk to me immediately.
--------------------------------------
If I am on an IEP how much extra time do I have to submit work?
If your IEP states that you may have extra time to complete assignments I
will allow you one week past the original due date. If your IEP does not
state that you may have extra time you will need to speak to me at the
beginning of the year about turning in assignments late.
--------------------------------------
If I am going to be absent, should I get my work before I go?
Absolutely! If you know that you are going to be absent, especially for a
school related activity, you should get your work before you go. I usually
have assignments ready by the Wednesday of the preceeding week. Some labs
and tests may be done early but most will need to be made up when you return.
--------------------------------------
Why do I have to do a Pre-lab activity before the lab?
Pre-Lab Activities are designed to prepare the student for doing the lab.
Some labs require additional information or explanation and many take longer
than one class period to complete. We do Pre-Lab Activities to save on time
and to prepare for the lab so that it can be completed in the amount of time
we have in class.
--------------------------------------
If I am absent for the Pre-Lab Activity can I still do the lab?
Completion of all labs is required in my class. If you are absent for the
pre-lab, you must do it before the lab and make up the lab on your oun time.
If you know you are going to be absent, and the Pre-Lab can be done outside
of class, you can do it before the day of the lab so that you will not be
behind.
--------------------------------------
What do I do if I am absent for a lab?
Once you have completed the Pre-Lab Activity, you will need to sign up for
the lab itself. You will generally have one week to complete the lab, do not
wait until the last minute. Days available for completing the lab will be
posted.
