Exam makeups will only be allowed in extreme circumstances, such as a severe illness or death of a close member of the family. A makeup exam will only be administered if the student contacts the instructor before the exam and has documentation to support his or her excuse. There will be no extensions given for the research paper deadline. Students handing in a late paper will have one letter grade deducted for every day the paper is late and will only be accepted in this manner with prior permission from the instructor. Plagiarism is a serious offense and will be treated as such.
Work done by other students or work done previously for other classes is unacceptable.
If you are unsure what constitutes plagiarism please refer to the Ohio State University Code of Student Conduct. Graduating seniors should see the instructor to make arrangements for turning in the paper early and taking the final exam during the last week of classes.
