Pacing and Due Dates
All sections of a course have the same pacing schedule and due dates.
There ARE required due dates in Advanced Placement courses in order to ensure that coursework is completed prior to the nationally scheduled AP test dates.
Due dates are aligned to the Eastern Time Zone.
Late Assignments
Student receives a 20% reduction on the earned score for a late assignment, including tests and quizzes, turned in within one week of the due date.
Example: Late assignment worth 100 points, student earns 75 points on this assignment. Instructor will deduct 20% from 75 (15 points) for a recorded score of 60.Student receives a 40% reduction on the earned score for a late assignment, including tests and quizzes, turned in more than a week late but prior to the last week of their term.
Example: Late assignment worth 100 points. Student earns 75 points on this assignment. Instructor will deduct 40% from 75 (30 points) for a recorded score of 45 points.In extenuating circumstances and in advance when possible, a student must work directly with instructor and mentor to develop and request reasonable alternative due dates on particular assignments/tests in writing, in order to avoid a score reduction in assignment or exam grades.
Extenuating circumstances include items beyond a student’s control including an unpredictable, serious medical issue; the death of an immediate family member; a significant change in living arrangements like the loss or removal from home, or similar circumstance.
Resubmission of Assignments
Students may resubmit assignments (turned in in good faith*) to demonstrate mastery within 7 calendar days of the date it was graded (this does not include assignments submitted late).
Mastery is defined as earning 80% or better.
Tests and quizzes are not part of the resubmission policy.
Resubmissions of assignments are not available in the last week of the term without documented teacher approval (does not apply to verifiable technical issues).
Tests and Final Exams
All midterms and finals are expected to be proctored locally - “proctored” means that a local mentor is supervising the test as a student is taking it.
Students are not allowed to resubmit a test, midterm, or final exam.
End Dates
Allow students to take the final exam after the AP Exam when encouraged or necessary by the student’s school district.
A student cannot complete missed work to improve a score after the final exam/project is completed
*Good faith submission demonstrates a student's best effort and does not include blank and/or empty assignment submissions (may not be used as a time/space holder), assignment formats the instructor cannot open, or documents the instructor does not have permission to view, including Google docs or other cloud based documents.
