2.5 Research Component 2.5.1 Students will conduct library and on-line research to prepare a short position paper and a more lengthy research paper. 1.0 Assignments 1.1 Assignment deadlines will be communicated to the class through the class schedule and through announcements made in class. Students are expected to attend all classes to receive these important notices. It is the student s responsibility to check with the instructor if there are questions or concerns about specific due dates. 1.2 Papers must be submitted on time.
Assignments are due at the beginning of the class session on the date they are due.
Late assignments are penalized one letter grade per day. The first deduction is taken as soon as lecture begins on the day the assignment is due. Papers dropped off at the office with no indication of when they were submitted will be counted as being turned in when the instructor receives them. In short, avoid late submissions and communicate difficulties to the instructor well in advance of due dates. 1.3 Students should keep electronic and hard copies of all assignments.
