#1 -- If I don't pick something up, I just tell them I am going to grade it in their notebook -- they turn them in during each test. I don't always actually check them in their notebook but honestly they don't know the difference. Sometimes, I pick up an assignment and then don't grade it. Again, they don't know the difference. I only check most HW for completion (HS math) #2 -- I collect the entire classes HW. I say the same thing every time, "Put your name and your row number on your paper and pass it forward." I have never had trouble with students saying they didn't know we passes forward the HW -- perhaps because the whole row is passing them forward and they would have to really be out of it to not notice. If they were to tell me that they didn't know, I think that I would tell them that they should be listening and not give them credit for the HW. I don't accept late HW.
