Given that projects and essays are assigned in advance with definite due dates, these assignments are due to the teacher on the given date and period. If a student does not turn in the project or essay on the due date/period, then the project or essay receives a maximum grade of 70 if submitted by the next period the class meets. Any time after that, a grade of 0 will be assigned. It is not acceptable to say things like “I have it on this flash drive and just need to get Mrs. Harrild to print it for me” or “I have done it but forgot it so I will email it to you when I get home.”
