Appendix M: Sample of Grace Slips and Instructions for How to Use Them

by Irene

French 111 – – 1st Semester HW Policy:

 1.  During 1st semester you will get 12 “grace” slips for late HW.  (If you have some BIG reason, like major illness or a death in the family – then come and talk to me).  If you absolutely cannot hand in your HW on time, you may attach the “grace” slip to the assignment when you hand it in – one slip for each day of tardiness.  In other words, I will accept 12 HW assignments 1 day late without penalty.   [NOTE:  If you are absent, you do not need to attach a grace slip, but, the HW that was due on the day of your absence, must be handed in the day that you return to class.]

Besides a given day’s written HW assignment, these slips may also be used for  a journal submission, or test correction due date – 1 for each day of tardiness.  Test corrections are due two days after the test has been handed back.

NOTE:  HW can still be handed in without a grace slip – but it can not get more than ½ credit.

 2.  All HW assignments for the previous chapter need to be fully completed (with a score of 10) by the test date of the subsequent chapter test.  i.e.  When the test is given for Chap. 2, all HW assignments for Chap. 1 need to be fully done and corrected.  After the Chap. 2 test, it is TOO LATE to hand anything in from Chap. 1.

 3.  There is a big incentive for not using your slips.  Each slip that you have left over at the end of the semester is worth ½ point of extra credit to be applied to your final exam – for a possibility of 6 extra points.  Hand them in on the last day of class.

 Staple a “grace” slip to the HW assignment for which you are using it.
