| Papers that are not handed in
on time will have their grade lowered by 1 letter grade per class and will
not be eligible for revision. See
Syllabus (Example: If the paper is late, you will need to get a B on
the paper to get a C, the minimum passing grade. If it is two classes late,
you will need to get and A to get a C.) If you are having trouble
doing your paper, contact me as soon as you are having trouble -- not when
the paper is due
.Remember that you need a C or better to pass this course. Doing the minimal amount of work will not get you a C. Doing papers at the last minute and handing them in without working on them is not likely to get you a C or better. All the assignments are posted; if you are out, it is your responsibility to look up the assignment or contact me. |
