For all classes:

Students will be given homework assignment sheets in class.  These sheets will contain the homework assignments for the entire nine weeks period.  The dates on the sheet are the dates assignments are due.  Late homework is not accepted.  Because students are given the homework assignments in advance, when a student is absent, the missed homework assignment(s) and the assignment due the day of the student's return are due the day the student returns to class.
