Students trying to negotiate away penalties for late.
This is an important decision because it will impact how you control late work. Many teachers choose to lower a student's grade by one letter for each day that it is late. If this is what you choose, then you will need to come up with a method for recording the dates past deadline for hard copies to help you remember as you grade later that day.Late homework is not accepted.

Before using them, however, you should consider the following: Know how gullible your teacher is. Some teachers will believe anything, especially new teachers.
