9. Assignment vs. Homework I will make an assignment most every day. If it is not finished in class, then it is homework. You should be able to finish in class most days, IF you are on task. It is due at the beginning of class the next day or stated due date. If a student needs extra time help on an assignment, then he/she needs to set up a tutoring time as soon as possible.
