If the instructor is not contacted 24 hours in advance, a grade of 0 will be assigned for that test. If an emergency prevents a student from following this procedure, the instructor must be contacted as soon as possible or a grade of 0 will be assigned. Unless you have prior experience with the material, attendance is expected, and roll is taken although the attendance record does not figure directly into grade calculation. However, students will lose points for unexcused absences on days that student PowerPoint presentations are given. Students are expected to complete all assignments on time.
Assignments are due by the end of the day on the assigned date as shown on the schedule .
In recognition of the fact that unavoidable circumstances can prevent a student from submitting an assignment on time, each student is granted one late submission without penalty. It will be marked late, but when grades are calculated, if you have one or fewer assignments marked late, then no penalty will be assessed. Any assignment that is more than one classperiod late will receive a 0. The second, third, or fourth assignment that is turned in beyond the due date will receive a 0. This policy is specifically designed to encourage timely submission, to allow for unavoidable circumstances, and most of all to be fair and relieve the instructor of evaluating the many requests for exceptions that he receives every term.
