Papers are due during class time on the due date, unless otherwise specified in the assignment.
Late papers will be accepted, but will lose one full letter grade for every day that they are late. Approximately 8 percent of the final course grade is based on class participation. Because you can not participate if you are not in class, students are expected to attend all regular class meetings. Students who miss more than three class meetings without first obtaining prior approval, or without a note from a physician or a college dean, will lose all 8 percentage points. College policy will be followed with regard to instances of cheating or plagiarism, and violators will be punished to the maximum extent permitted.
