5 absences will result in you being dropped from the class, regardless of the reason for the absence. If you know you are going to miss a class for any reason, call me, e-mail me or leave a message in my mailbox. Absences due to sickness are not excused, but I may give you some leeway regarding upcoming due dates provided I am notified in advance. Serious illnesses or family obligations that demand your absence require notification of the school administration. Late Assignments Final drafts will have one full letter grade deducted for each day they are late.
Final drafts are due at the beginning of the class period.
If you are more than fifteen minutes to class on the day a final draft is due, the paper will be considered late. Whether unintentional or deliberate, plagiarism is unacceptable in this or any other course. We will be doing extensive work on correct documentation and citation of outside sources in this course. Plagiarized work will result in a lowering of the grade on the paper that includes the plagiarized work, and further disciplinary action is left to the teacher's discretion. Please refer to both the handout given to you rwegarding the school policy, the link from the class web page, or the CMC catalog.
