Where there is a consistent and significant upward or downward trend in the grades on your papers, the later papers will be weighed somewhat more heavily than indicated above. I am not lenient about granting extensions on papers. Since the final paper counts as the final exam in the course, deferral is possible only in accord with the College regulations concerning deferral of exams. For the same reason, final papers cannot be returned to you for one year after they are due. In general, illness, injury, and participation in College sponsored activities that require your absence from campus will be the only acceptable reasons for extensions.
Extensions are to be requested in advance, if at all possible.
You are expected to provide confirmation or -means of confirmation of the reason for the extension. If you are unable to meet with me during my scheduled office hours, I will make appointments to see you at other times. Please note however that I will not normally be on campus on Fridays. My extension is 2732. You will be -notified in advance of exactly when that will take place.
