A few clarifications...just in case!

In case you have questions when you see your assignments in Engrade:

OBQ:  These are the "copy the answers to these 4 questions directly from the notes you were required to copy as homework, due today" quizzes you have in class.  They count as a Homework grade.

CWQ:  These are the "mini-quizzes" I give you that are multiple choice, usually 10 questions or less, and based only one 1 or 2 days worth of information.  They count as a Classwork grade.

OBQs & CWQs are not sent to resource.  They are based on only 1 or 2 days of work, copying work that involved no comprehension or reading, and therefore do not qualify as "resource work."

A zero in entered when I do not have work for you for any assignment.  If it went to Resource, it will be entered as a zero until I get it back & get it graded.  If you did a make-up, it will stay a zero until I get it graded.  If you didn't show up for a make-up, it stays a zero once that make-up deadline has passed.  If you cut or came late to class so missed a quick quiz, you are out of luck.

If you believe you were legally absent for an OBQ or a CWQ, email me.  You will not be excused more than twice...but I don't have an attendance chart at home, where I must use Engrade, so have no idea if an absence was legal or not.  You must do this the same week grades are posted in Engrade for me to investigate for you and change them.  Once the week has ended, no grades will be changed.  So again, that's one week from the time the grades are entered, not the time from the assignment was given.
