oh crap!

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>oh crap! I just realized that I forgot to turn in my chemistry lab by 3 pm today on my teacher's desk... My teacher has a policy that you can turn in an assignment by 3 pm on his desk, and that every school day late, 10% is deducted. I had typed and finish my lab yesterday, and I had a free after chem class that I could revise stuff if I wanted... Turns out that I didn't need to revise anything, and I totally forgot to hand the lab in! Dammit, at least I could use the weekened to perfect everything to get a 90....</p>

<p>have any of you turned in stuff late and have points deducted? should I worry a lot about this?</p>

<p>At our school, if we hand anything in after the due date we automatically get a 0, they don't even care if you were absent that day: so you shouldn't worry. that much.</p>

<p>craze that's harsh!!</p>

<p>last year when i took chem, u could hand a lab in late if u were absent while doing the lab or absent the day its due, and u have up to 2 days to hand it in, and after that it is a 0 no matter what</p>

<p>I meant to say that you can only hand the assignment late the DAY OF the due date, if you were absent, my bad.
But still, my school's hw/assign completion policy is rather harsh.</p>

5

<p>CALL HIm! This same thing happened to me. I called my teacher at home completely freaking out, he had pity on me and let me turn it in the next morning (or school day in your case). No teacher is truly that heartless. Tell him it was an honest mistake.</p>

6

<p>nobody gets over a 91 in my chemistry lab.... even if its on time</p>

7

<p>It's one assignment. Don't worry about it--there's nothing wrong with a 90 to me, especially if it's just an isolated mistake as in your situation.</p>

8

<p>bump...............</p>

9

<p>my teachers always give 0s if an assignment isn't handed in on time. I would have aced an assignment had I turned it in on time...</p>

10

<p>email it to the teacher. then bring a hard copy on monday.</p>

<p>be resourceful. give the teacher a reason to let you off.</p>

11

<p>I once told my teacher that I was too busy preparing for the halloween party and couldn't do anything school related. She gave me 3 days to redo the stuff.</p>

12

<p>If it's an english paper, we have to hand it in on the due date. If we're absent, we have to somehow give it to someone to turn in for us. If we have an incredibly good excuse, we can hand it in on the next school day (We have A days and B days that alternates AP english and APUSH)</p>

<p>It varies in other classes.</p>

13

<p>i miss a and b days</p>

14

<p>My Chem teacher is very nice when it comes to homework. She's still letting us turn in assignments from as far back as the first day of school.</p>

15

<p>Lucky ! ! !</p>

16

<p>wow.. 10 percent isn't a big deal.
if it was like "the highest you can get is a 70" then i'd worry a little.</p>

17

<p>Yeah actually. It's called every class I've ever been in. Deadlines are assigned not so that we can break them and feel like there is a safety net. Personally, I like it when teachers enforce these rules if they clearly state it on their course expectations.</p>

18

<p>wow, I wish my chem teacher was like that, mine is a complete *****, if we hand it in late, its an automatic zero no matter what.</p>

19

<p>If you're stressing this much over 10% of ONE assignment grade in ONE class... you need to chill!</p>

20

<p>^I agree</p>

<p>It's not like it'll bring you down a letter grade.</p>
