 Here's what to do if you have been absent! Social Studies: Glad to help you out here. When you are absent, the grade goes into the grade book as an Absent (ab), which is scored as a 0% (0 out of 4 points). It stays that way until you turn in an assignment to fill that grade. I prefer that you email me the assignment, as I then copy and paste it into the grade book. There is no late penalty for late work. I am just glad you did it, so when it is turned in, you get full credit. Now you need to know that near the end of the semester, when things get really busy, I try to get my grades done before the last few days, so you should really try to get the work turned in way before that. It relieves stress on you and let's you concentrate on studying for all your finals.
