CVR English Department Policies (7-11)
late work
ALL late work will be deducted at a rate of 5% per day including weekends (10% for 2 days) UNLESS:
​
-
It is submitted with a signed note from a parent or doctor; and/or,
-
An extension, requested at LEAST 48 hours in advance of the due date, was granted (for no more than 7 days from the due date); and/or
-
The student’s IEP entitles her/him to “extra time for class work” which is 7 days from the due date
Work submitted greater than 7 days past the due date (whether for an extension or IEP extra time) will be deducted at a rate of 10% per day including weekends up to a maximum of 3 days. After that, work shall NOT be accepted.
EXTENSIONS
EXTENSIONS, including students with IEPs, are never for longer than 7 days past the due date and are only granted if the student meets the following criteria:
-
S/he requested an extension at LEAST 48 hours before the due date, whether s/he has an IEP or not;
-
S/he has been working diligently in class and at home, thus earning the trust of the teacher;
-
S/he SHOWS proof of progress on the assignment to show that s/he really does NEED the extra time to complete it, ie s/he is not just starting the assignment now after wasting class time to date
ALL late deductions will be split evenly over the number of competencies evaluated, eg for a response, that is 6 days late, which earns a 78% in READING and an 83% in PRODUCTION, the total penalty is 30%, so the student will get a 63% in READING (78-15) and a 68% (83-15) in PRODUCTION.
WORK NOT HANDED IN
Any work NOT HANDED IN will receive a 0% in all competencies evaluated.
RESUBMITTING WORK
All work that has been already done and graded, and which has earned lower than an 80%, including MLA deductions, but excluding late penalties, (ie the quality of the work) may be redone and resubmitted at any time before the last 10 days of terms 1 & 2. For term 3, all re-done work must be submitted before May 1st.
Students MUST:
-
begin with a serious effort and submit their best work in the first place
-
be serious about their revisions and learning from their mistakes
-
not allow these revisions to interfere with completing current assignments due
MLA/CITATION INFRACTIONS
Every MLA formatting and citation infraction will be deducted at a rate of 1% per infraction (even if it’s the same mistake over and over again). Students can consult the Purdue Online Writing Lab website for help.
