Late arrivals disrupt the class, so please arrive on time. If you arrive late, it is your responsibility to make sure that I have recorded you present. More than two unexcused absences will affect your final grade.
Papers are due when stated on the syllabus.
Late papers will be penalized. I recognize that illness or pressing personal matters require special consideration, and I will act accordingly. However, I feel uncomfortable granting extensions because of work load from other courses and commitments. It strikes me as arbitrarily giving unfair advantage to some students. In theory, everyone could do a better job if they a had a couple extra days.
