As a rule, I do not accept late assignments. Late work will be accepted only in the case of a documented illness or if you have made arrangements with me in advance of the absence. Missing a class means that you cannot benefit from the comments of other students and that other students cannot benefit from yours. I will take attendance at the beginning of each class. After the third absence, I will deduct 2.5 percentage points per absence from your final grade.
Late arrivals disrupt class, so please be on time.
Students who arrive late will not receive additional time to complete any activities already begun, such as a reading quiz. It is the responsibility of all students to proofread and edit their work before it is submitted. Students who do not exhibit proficiency in editing throughout the semester should not expect to pass the course. Academic dishonesty includes copying another's work, turning in someone else's work as your own, allowing a tutor to write part or all of your paper, or allowing someone else to use your work in this same manner. If you are unsure about this matter, talk to me before you submit the paper, not after.
