After three absences the student's grade will be negatively impacted. Each student must sign-in at each class meeting. No student may sign in to receive credit for attendance past ten minutes after class has begun. There will be no less than five quizzes during the semester. Each student will be permitted to drop the quiz with the lowest score.
All papers are due on the date indicated on the assignment sheet, or as announced in class.
All papers must be written on assigned topics unless the student receives special permission to write on another topic from Professor Fontenot. No papers will be accepted late unless the student has obtained permission from Professor Fontenot prior to the date on which the paper is due. The only exception to this rule will be for circumstances that are clearly beyond the student's control. This does not include consideration for the completion of assignments for other classes. The papers you will write for this course are critical, not opinion papers.
