I take roll every day. Please call me if you know you will be absent for two or more classes. Promptness is also important. If a pattern of lateness persists, tardies will be considered an absence. All assignments are due at 11 a.m. on the date assigned, unless otherwise specified.
Deadlines are an absolute reality for journalists.
If the story isn't in on time, it doesn't get in the paper. However, given the number of assignments, I will allow you two deadline extensions on stories, no questions asked. Otherwise, I accept no late papers. Lost coupons will not be replaced. Grade boost does not apply, if you failed to turn in the first draft of an assigned story.
