Homework

 

General Comments 

Any work with your name on it has to be your own work.  Copying from a friend, from a book, a web site or any other source is not your work and I do not want to see it. Depending on the situation, such behavior merits a zero, an avertissement,  dividing the grade in 2 to share it with the person you copied from or a réparation.

Ways of Passing in Homework

Did you know there is more than one way to give me your homework?  You may pass in work in any of the following five ways:

  1. The traditional way - on paper with your answers written by hand.
  2. The computer-literate way - done on the computer and printed out.  Some teachers do not accept this because computers have spell checkers.  I encourage using computers especially because they have things such as spell checkers!
  3. The all-digital way - done on the computer but instead of printing it out, you give me a diskette, a CD or a USB thumbdrive.  Please make sure your name is on the outside of the memory storage device and on the document inside.  Also, respect the same file format rules as explained for e-mail - Click here to see the format rules.
  4. By e-mail - you send it to me by  electronic mail.  Click here to find out how.
  5. The online way - if you are a real computer whiz and you have your own web space, you could publish your homework as a web page and send me the address.  If you create a new space, please do not use my name or the school's name in the address - it's your space so use your name. 

 

What if the homework is late? 

Is there a penalty?  Any late work that I receive has 10% of the maximum grade taken off.  So a 15 out of 20 becomes a 13 and an 8 out of 10 becomes a 7.  It is better to give in a paper late than to give nothing at all because if I receive no work, it is a zero.  Just like for other forgetfulness, the third time you forget a homework, you will get a mise-en-garde.  

Where should you bring it?  If it is not in class, the best way to give me late work is to find me personally.  You can check my online schedule to see where I am at all times during the week.  If you cannot find me, DO NOT put the paper in the mailbox "Courrier Professeurs / Elèves".  There is no way for me to verify if you put it in the box and papers without my name on them get thrown in the bin.  It is better to give the paper to the lab technician (Christine) in the Biology Office (between A1 and A2) and she will put it in my mailbox there.
