Your work should be completed to the best of your ability. You should not turn in work that is copied, scribbled on, torn, or done to the absolute minimum of standard. Any less than your best is disrespecting you and also me.

You should ask for missing work either before class starts or after instruction is over. You should never interrupt instruction to tell Mrs. Gober you weren't here yesterday or that you need the work from yesterday. Also it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to get, complete, and return your work.
