English LangLit Homework Policy

Hi all,

Now that the 4 week induction/change over period has come to an end, I will be implementing the homework policy in class. The policy is as follows:

Stage 1: In the event that you do not complete the homework for the deadline, you will be given 24 hours to complete it and hand it in.

Stage 2: If you still have not completed the homework after the 24 hour extension, your tutor will be contacted and the missed deadline will be recorded on your student portal. At this point you will need to see the Director of Faculty (DOF) to complete the homework in one of your free periods.

Stage 3: If you still have not handed in the homework, parents will be contacted and a Cause for Concern (CFC) will be raised, which means you will be moved onto a disciplinary process.

Homework is very important to your progress on the course, and completing homework and receiving feedback for your work will decide whether you get your target grade or not. Sometimes a missed deadline is out of your control, and so you should use the 24 hour extension period and get it in as quickly as possible in order to avoid being moved onto a disciplinary. The 24 hour extension period should not be used for every piece of homework - if you miss the initial deadline for more than 3 pieces of work, parents will be contacted and you may still be moved onto the disciplinary process.

If you have any concerns about not being able to complete homework for the deadline, please come and see me at the end of your lesson and let me know in advance.

A reminder: I am still waiting for the comparative essay from the following people, and these need to be handed in on Wednesday. If the Wednesday deadline is missed you will move to Stage 2. Please hand the essay into Michelle or email it to me:
