This is to compensate for the fact that most people have an occasional bad day. It also means that the student can miss one item without greatly lowering his or her average. If a student misses more than one quiz or homework, the grade for each missed quiz other than the first is zero. Exceptions to this policy will be made only if the student has a significant reason for missing the quiz and can provide written documentation of the need to miss the quiz. Thus, makeup quizzes are not normally given.
Assignments are due by the start of class on the given due date.
Most assignments will probably be submitted electronically. Any printed assignments are to be handed to the instructor or slid under the office door. Nothing will be accepted through housemail or postal service mail. Late assignments will not be accepted, except in special circumstances and with written documentation. You are required to do your own work.
