Homework
Homework is an important activity that contributes to student educational progress. By definition, homework is a task initiated and/or motivated in the classroom related to the objectives of the course studied, which is normally completed out of class. Homework may take the form of additional practice on exercises, reading of material on a specific subject, in-depth exercises, in-depth follow-up of classroom activities, or independent project work related to the subject.
When students are absent it is their responsibility to meet with each teacher to find out what was missed.
Freshmen and first semester sophomores who fail to turn in homework on the given date will be given a detention. Students will have an opportunity to turn it in by 8:10 the next morning for 50% credit. Failure to turn in homework will result in receiving a zero for the assignment and homework will still have to be completed and a detention will be given.
Juniors and seniors who fail to turn in homework will receive a zero for the homework and will not have the opportunity to make up the assignment.
Each student must strive every day to reach maximum personal excellence. Schoolwork is part of personal excellence. It requires that all work represent the original efforts of the individual student. This includes, but is not limited to, the following unacceptable behaviors:
- Copying any part of an assignment prepared by another student.
- Looking at someone else’s test or quiz.
- Allowing another student to copy work or look at one’s test or quiz.
- Copying from another student’s test or quiz.
- Using notes, text, or any form of ‘cheat sheet’ on a test without permission.
- Plagiarizing another’s work includes the use of speech/commentary of another person, text(s), Internet site(s), or any other source without providing appropriate source reference and citation.
- Violation of any of the above will result in a zero for the assignment or test and a Saturday detention will be assigned. Further violations may result in failure of the course and possible withdrawal from Collegiate Academy.
