When unsure of concepts, students may use available resources to assist them with assignments (notes, textbook, websites, logic, reasoning).
Credit is earned for attempting to complete assignments, and students are expected to come to class prepared to ask questions when they are unable to do so.
Homework may be accepted late for partial credit.

14. Assessments 80% of grade Approximately one per week
If student does not demonstrate mastery, he/she receives re teaching and opportunity to retake. Scores are averaged in the gradebook.
