The day you turn it in is not counted in the point deduction. The points deducted will be that many fewer points in your point pot. Preparation includes reading the chapters and answering the chapter-end questions. The answers to the chapter-end questions are in the back of the textbook. There are no makeups.
All final grades are final unless there is a numerical mistake.
Please do not ask me to change your course grade due to your own personal circumstances such as wanting to get into the Terry College of Business, keeping your HOPE scholarship, staying in the honors program, maintaining a certain average, etc. I do not give away points. You earn your points through exams and extra credit. The only chance for points is outlined above. I cannot allow individual students the opportunity to gain extra points after the class is over and they learn that their grade is not what they wanted.
