Journalists are required to write under tight deadlines. This class is no exception. Late papers will not be accepted unless the student notifies the instructors in advance of the deadline with a legitimate excuse. If so, the instructor may accept a paper no more than 24 hourse after the original deadline with a letter grade deduction. Roll WILL be taken at the beginning of each class discussion.
Late arrivals count as absences.
Students who miss class are responsible for finding out what work is required and completing the assignment with the rest of the class. If a student misses a class in which an assignment was completed during the period, the student may not make up the missed work unless he or she has a written excused absence. Students should send an e-mail or call to explain the reason for missing the class or assignment immediately. Illness of the student or serious illness of a member of the student's immediate family. Appropriate verification will be required.
