If students do not turn in work, I have given them zeros, but this makes their grade plummet. I am not able to put an "I" for incomplete in the gradebook. Should I give some minimum number of points (e.g., 5 points out of 10) for the assignment so that they know they need to do it, but the grade doesn't lower dramatically like it would with a "0".
Bella ersonally, if students don't turn in their homework, I feel that their grade should drop...they shouldn't get ANY points for not turning in their homework.

If you are concerned that their grade is dropping too drastically, maybe you could weight the grades. For example, maybe you could have homework only worth 10 percent of the grade.
