HOMEWORK >> On Level World Geography >> Homework for On Level World Geography is designed as time to review material for a quiz or test or to finish work assigned in class that was not completed. I try not to assign overnight homework but if work was not completed in class it IS due the next class day. There is a penalty for late work. Horizons World Geography >> Students are expected to do more independent work outside of class. Homework can also involve taking time to study and review for quizzes and tests.I try not to assign overnight homework but if work was not completed in class it IS due the next class day. There is a penalty for late work. |
