<p>At my school, if we turn anything in late, we usually just get zeros regardless, so it's pointless trying to complete the assignment after the deadline.</p>
<p>I don't usually turn in work late, but I feel like just giving straight zeros discourages people from trying in the first place. I think it would be reasonable to give partial credit proportional to the amount of effort they put in, if they tried to turn it in after a reasonable amount of time (like 1 day)
I've seen friends just crash and burn after receiving a few zeros.</p>
<p>At our school most teachers give you zeroes and if you don’t turn it in eventually you get a detention. We only have one teacher who does it differently and I like his method.</p>
<p>His theory: Not turning in homework is a behavioral problem, not an academic problem so your grade shouldn’t be effected. Unless it is a big project you just get a detention for every missed assignment and will keep accumulating them until it is turned in. If you never turn them in he just won’t put in the grade and you get forgiven at the end of the quarter for missed assignments.</p>
<p>At my school, it’s one letter grade off for each day that an assignment is late (i.e. one day late, maximum grade is a B, two days is a C, etc.), then beyond a certain point, it’s a maximum grade of 50%. Some teachers are more strict about this, and just give a zero if an assignment isn’t turned in on time, and others don’t penalize at all.</p>
<p>Some teachers don’t care, some take off 10% per day and some take off 50% if it’s late. I had one teacher who said not turning in assignments isn’t his problem because you’ll just get backed up on old assignments so he only takes off 10% total no matter how late it was turned in.</p>
<p>Depends on the teacher. For minor assignments, it’s usually a zero if it’s a day late, but one teacher counted it as a 1 if it was only a day late.</p>
<p>For major assignments, it’s a letter grade off a day, with a minimum max score of 50.</p>
<p>For freshman, they have this rule where you have to turn in your homework before school starts by the day it’s due. If you don’t, then you have to stay after school for study hall to make it up by a certain day and it turns into a 70. Other than that, I think some teachers just give you up to a certain day to turn stuff in. They’ll take off points along the way then if you don’t take advantage of that, it’s a zero. But every teacher is not the same.</p>
<p>Depends on the teacher. This is what my teachers did last year</p>
<p>AP Psychology - Full credit on assignment, but if you have a late assignment, you are not allowed any extra credit opportunities that quarter.
Spanish III - Formal policy was a 0 for any late assignment, but if she liked you, you could persuade her to give you partial credit (usually 50%)
AP Language - Daily homework you received 50% credit for late work (rarely enforced though). A late paper received a 10% deduction for each day it was late. However, every student had 1 48-hour extension they could use on any paper they wished (but only once)
AP Calculus - 50% credit. We received two oops passes though, so you could receive full credit twice per semester. If you didn’t use your oops passes you got extra credit on the final.
Engineering - we had like 4 homework assignments the entire year, so I don’t even think he had a formal policy… generally he gave full credit to students he liked and partial/none for students he didn’t.
US History - full credit… if he didn’t have this policy he’d be teaching the same batch of students each year… most students barely pass as it is since everyone has to take US History, including future drop outs.
Physics - full credit if turned in by the end of the week, partial credit afterward (how much depended on how late it was - it was subjective).</p>
<p>Depends on the teacher. My physics teacher last year let us turn in work whenever he wanted because he said he knew we all had busy schedules. My AP Lang teacher on the other hand wouldn’t accept late work at all.</p>
<p>Depends on the type of assignment. For example, you can lose 10% for each day your essay is late; however, something like homework, you can lose 50% each day until it’s just a zero. But like others said, it depends on the teacher. The majority of my teachers don’t even check or grade homework as that’s just mostly for lower level classes at my school.</p>
<p>My AP English accepted all late work for full credit until the very end of the quarter, which I liked a lot. Everyone in class took advantage of that, and it made time management a lot easier. The same went for my AP Environmental teacher.
My AP World and my Latin teacher gave half credit for late assignments, unless it was like ridiculously late, then it’d be a zero for both.
My Trig teacher last year gave zeroes for all late assignments, even if it was by a day.</p>
<p>Most teachers at my school will give until the following Monday to turn in late work with a penalty (usually 30-50%). We do have quite a few though that have no late work policies. </p>
<p>None of the teachers give detention or anything though. A lot of our teachers have the “college professor attitude” and just say that it’s your grade and if your grade suffers because you’re lazy, then that’s your own problem. They’re there to teach and grade, not babysit. That’s why most people at my school have a planner; your teachers will NOT remind you if you have assignments out.</p>
<p>My school gives a sort of detention if you don’t turn in your work that day, and you have to complete the work during that detention. However, if you get assigned to more than 1 teacher, your parents are notified.</p>
<p>Generally, it’s 10 points off the assignment for every day it’s late. Really depends on the teacher. In AP classes, they usually will just give you a 0.</p>
