Homework

= Homework Page =

I will be listing your homework on this wiki page. All homework assignments will be posted here before 5:30pm on the evening following a class session. It is each student's responsibility to check this page and to read wiki mail for any updates. If you use your //yoman//, be sure to remind yourself to check this wiki page in your notes there.

Written homework will be assigned weekly for Pirkei Avot. Practice homework will be assigned weekly for Torah trope. Most often, homework will be posted shortly after the school day ends so that it can reflect the progress the class has made. Homework assignments are due on the date posted with the assignment. Homework assignments will always be announced in class and then posted on the wiki.
 * Homework Schedule:**

Homework assignments will be graded according to two scales. For smaller assignments, I use the √+, √, √-, I system, which correspond to grades A, B, C, and INCOMPLETE, just on a smaller scale. Larger assignments will be graded with letter grades from A range to C range. All incomplete homework will be given a grade a **I** and returned to you for completion.
 * Homework Grading:**

Students who have incomplete work lasting over more than one additional class session will be sent to study hall to complete the work. Late assignments result in the lowering of a grade unless a prior arrangement for illness or other reason has been made with me. Two late assignments will result in a call/email home to parents.
 * Incomplete Homework:**

In the table below, you will find all of your homework assignments listed with the most recent assignment at the top. I will assign a row to each week, as you will see below. The columns will be assigned to different subjects
