Papers are due in class on the announced date. Papers received later than noon on that day will be considered late. Your grade will drop by a third of a letter grade for each calendar day that it is late unless you have a legitimate reason that has been cleared with your professor. You must arrange a new due date when you receive your extension. There are no indefinite extensions.
Theology demands careful, precise thinking and expression.
Developing students' ability to think and express that thinking clearly is a significant goal of this core course. Consequently, the quality of your writing will affect your paper grades. Only very rarely can anyone communicate good ideas in a poorly written paper. Be sure to outline your paper, ideally in advance, but at least as part of revising your paper. It is highly recommended that you hand in an outline along with your paper.
