Key Expectations and Classroom Responsibilities 1. Attendance is crucial. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to get any notes and handouts you may have missed. If an assignment/homework is due on the day you were away, it will be due the first day you return -- no exceptions. 2. Due dates are to be respected. If your late work is still not completed after an agreed upon time to do so, the assignment will be given a mark of zero. 3. Plagiarism is unacceptable. If you are deliberately taking someone elses material as your own work you will receive a mark of 0. 4. Never hesitate to ask for help! My door is always open. See me to set up a time.
