You are encouraged to explore new areas of journalism during this semester, such as design, production and advertising sales. Special accommodations or alternative-format materials will be made available. Students with disabilities may want to contact the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities in the Library Building, LB-024. I will deduct five points for every class meeting missed or left early. Being late three times will be considered an absence.
All assignments are due at the beginning of class .
You will lose one point per 24-hour period that an assignment is late, up to 50 percent of the assignment's total value. Assignments more than one week late will not be accepted or graded. Deadline extensions must be arranged in writing and signed by the student, editor and adviser. Meeting deadlines is an important part of being a journalist and all deadlines will be strictly enforced. I strongly advise you to start all assignments as soon as possible.
