You will NOT be permitted to consult books, notebooks, or other aids during the exams. Any student with an unexcused absence from an exam will earn an E for that test. If for any family or medical reason you find it absolutely necessary to miss an examination, you must contact me before the exam and have my consent to your absence if you wish to take a make-up exam. The date and time of any make-up exam will be announced in class. The assignment will be distributed during the first week of class and will be due Friday, February 25.
Early submissions are welcome.
Papers turned in late will be assessed penalties of a half letter grade per day late. To be fair to all students, no exceptions to this rule will be granted. Your essay will be graded on the basis of both content and style. You must attribute the sources of quotations and borrowed ideas by citing page numbers in the book. If one borrows the words or ideas of others without acknowledgement, one is guilty of plagiarism.
