I am missing work. How do I make it up?
There are two ways that you can get missed work: first, is ask the teacher during
reading time (the beginning of class and the end of class is a bad time to ask for
missing work); second, is to stay for a teacher’s tutorials. (My tutorials are on
Monday, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 3:00 to 4:00.) Tutorials are better because
the teacher can teach you any of the lessons you might have missed.

I do not understand an assignment. What should I do?
If you do not understand an assignment, you need to ask the teacher. If not the
teacher , ask one of your classmates. If all else fails, try your best to complete the
assignment the way you think it needs to be done, and turn it in. If you still do not
understand the material, then you need to attend tutorials. My tutorials are on
Monday, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 3:00 to 4:00.

Check with your teacher. She may have not put the grades online, or your paper
are: no name on paper, paper mislabeled, no labeling on the paper, paper was
turned in late, or paper was turned in at the wrong place. Checking with your
teacher during reading time is the only way to be sure.
