6. Homework Policy Homework is graded off of effort and participation – Homework is designed to be more than practice. It is a chance for students to engage in the notes and examples at home. Homework is considered “Late” if it is not turned at the time of collection – If a student is spending the class period making up an assignment, they are falling farther behind
