Repeated excessively long, rambling or irrelevant comments will detract from a student's participation grade. There will be no make-up assignments for unexcused absences. Students who are unable to complete an assignment for legitimate reasons that do not qualify as excused under university guidelines, and who notify the instructor before the assignment is due, may, at the discretion of the instructor, turn in late assignments for partial credit. Assignments turned in on the day they are due but after class meets will face a five- percent penalty. Each additional late day will accrue an additional ten percent deduction.
Students are responsible for monitoring and contributing to class electronic communication.
