• One of the most important parts about work
  completed at home is visual appearance. If I can
  not read it, it is a zero!

  will be accepted. Long term assignments like
  papers or projects will be accepted late but will
  have 5pts deducted for each day late and no extra
  credit can be earned.
• A stamp sheet will be used to maintain HW
  grade-if student looses this, their grade is a 0.
