Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept late work?
All work is expected to be turned in on the date assigned. There is no partial credit awarded for late work. Late is late. You missed the boat.
Is extra credit available if I need to bring up my grade?
No. Occasionally Mr. Bjerke will give extra credit points for specific items, but he does not make up extra credit for people who need a quick fix o make up for past irresponsibility.
How can I use my Renaissance Card in your class?
At the end of each trimester, I will allow you to use your card to excuse assignments if your grade is within one percentage point of the next highest grade. That is the only time it can be used.
I NEVER ALLOW YOU TO USE YOUR CARD JUST TO SKIP AN ASSIGNMENT THAT YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING.
What if I miss a quiz on Friday?
It is your responsibility to come to me to make up any missed quizzes.
Can I retake a quiz that I did poorly on?
Absolutely! Please see me and I will be glad to arrange a second chance. I don't always have all the old quizzes, so please come to me soon and not expect to make up really old quizzes.
Can I use the restroom during your class?
A student's personal needs are the responsibility of the student. There is passing period, break, lunch, and time in the locker room before and after P.E. All of these times are excellent times to take care of personal needs.
What if I am absent before a quiz, do I still have to take it?
Of course. What else are you going to do during the quiz? Of course, you can always retake it if you do poorly.
