General homework rules


  To receive the highest grade possible on your homework, please read and follow the rules listed below:
 
  • Always write using ink (black is best,  blue is also acceptable).  Neatness counts, print or write clearly if you want better than a "C".  Typing is always preferred.
  • Homework must be complete (leave no blank spaces).  There is no partial credit for incomplete work.  If you need help with questions you don't understand, see me during tutorial.
  • Answers must always be in written complete sentences (never start a sentence with "it", "because" or "they").  If you follow this rule, it is unnecessary to write out the question.
  • Nothing should be scribbled out (use "whiteout" if necessary) and no doodling allowed on your paper.  
  • Always put your full name, period and date in the upper right corner.  
  • Be prompt, turn your work in on time.  Late papers are not accepted except in the case of a cleared absence.  Click here for an explanation of when your paper would be due.  Assignments are posted on-line in advance so there is really no excuse for late work.
  • You are expected to print out copies of study guides and worksheets.  Using technology is part of the assignment and hand written copies receive a slightly lower grade.  The dhsworldhistory web site is accessible from home, the school library or any computer on campus and in most foreign countries 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  If this is a problem, see me and together we will find a solution.
