Incomplete Student Assignments

Every teacher faces the situation that students do not always complete their classroom or homework assignments. One way to address this problem is to ask the student to fill out an "Incomplete Assignment Log". The log could contain the following:
  • Title of the Assignment
  • Name of Student
  • Date and Period
  • Explanation of why the assignment was not complete
  • The students plan to make up the work.
After the student completes the Log, file it in the student's folder. The folder will help you at the end of the grading period for determining grades and when conferencing with the student's parents. If you have another strategy for handling incomplete student work please post in the comments section.
