Policies on late papers and missed quizzes

Policies:

1) The grade on late papers will drop 10 points per calendar day that the paper is late. A paper is considered late if it is turned in after the end of class on the day it is due.

2) If illness prevents you from turning a paper in on time, email me as soon as possible, and we’ll make appropriate arrangements. If you have a computer draft of a paper, you may email that to me on the due date.

3) You must complete all of the papers to pass the class (even if they are turned in so late that they cannot receive a passing grade).

4) If you are absent on the day of a quiz, it is your responsibility to speak with me about re-taking the quiz within 3 days of the original quiz. Please note that the make-up quiz will be more challenging than the original quiz.

5) I encourage you to bring rough drafts to my office hours for discussion. Sometimes we can have even more productive meetings if several class members come together to these meetings. I cannot read emailed drafts (unless I specifically ask for them).

6) Homework must be turned in in class (which means you have to be there too).
