Assignments must be completed on Canvas to receive credit. • The purpose of the homework is to motivate you to prepare for class by reading the text. I recommend that you work on the assignment offline before posting to canvas; a hard copy can be printed from my Teacherweb site for this purpose. For “fill in the blank” questions it is usually best to “cut & paste” from the Teacherweb copy to avoid errors. • To submit your work, answer questions on Canvas as directed. You will have 3 chances to complete each homework; feedback on correct and incorrect answers will be provided at each submission so you know what to fix.. • Keep original to use for study. • Canvas will immediately grade your work upon submission; the highest grade will be kept. • Late work will not be accepted, you will have 1 drop grade to accommodate absence from class, poor performance or other issue. • www.teacherweb.com/ms/nwcc/allenr
