Homework

Occasionally students face extenuating circumstances during which homework cannot and should not be the top priority in their lives.  Some of the reasons I accept for requesting assignment extensions include visiting grandparents,  illness, tragedy, family vacations, and religious observances.  Some of the reasons I do not accept for requesting assignment extensions  include extra-curricular activities, parties, and family shopping outings. 

Whatever the case, when students come to me prior to class to discuss late assignments, I do my best to be fair and flexible.   When students announce upon arrival to class that they are unprepared, they should not expect an extension without penalty. 

In most cases, I do not give assignments that are due the next day.  Students with extensive extra-curricular commitments must plan ahead to compensate for days of the week which do not lend themselves to working on homework.
