Make up Work:
Students who are absent from computer class are expected to make up the work missed. Many times, assignments may build on what has been accomplished in class the day before. For each day absent, students are given two (2) days to make up the work. However, the quicker the student is able to get caught up, the better. It is very necessary that you speak to Mrs. Miller about the ability to make up work missed. Time may need to be spent before/after school if necessary.
Late Work:
When work is assigned, a due date will be given. All assignments should be completed and turned in by the due date. Work that has not been completed and past the due date can be completed for half credit as long as it is for the same unit and is before the unit test. For example, spreadsheet assignments missed may not be turned in after the spreadsheet test.
