Unfortunately, many students have unrealistic expectations regarding their final grade for the semester. How is it possible for students -who time and time again-practically for every assignment-enter the classroom with excuses for NOT being able to place their assignment in the class folder! MY HOMEWORK POLICY HAS BEEN REPEATED NUMEROUS TIMES-VERBALLY AND POSTED ON THIS BLOG. FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT TURN-IN THE ASSIGNMENT ON FRIDAY AS YOU ENTERED THE CLASSROOM-I have deducted one-full letter grade. YOU HAD OVER ONE-WEEK TO COMPLETE THE ASSIGNMENT. I WONDER HOW MANY OF YOU WAITED UNTIL THURSDAY EVENING TO BEGIN WORKING ON IT?WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE SAME STUDENTS? WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE I BEGAN THE POSTING THE WAY I DID? EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: IF YOU DO NOT TURN-IN THE ASSIGNMENT IMMEDIATELY UPON ENTERING THE CLASSROOM ON THE DAY IT IS DUE, I DO NOT WANT IT-UNLESS YOU HAVE EMAILED THE ASSIGNMENT PRIOR TO THE START TIME OF THE CLASS-I DO NOT WANT IT! FURTHERMORE, DO NOT ENTER THE CLASS LATE WITH THE EXCUSE THAT YOU HAD TO USE A SCHOOL'S PRINTER!
