The performance of the class as a whole is taken into account in setting the cutoffs for particular grades, however, to avoid setting cutoffs that are too harsh. Be honest with yourself. Do not turn in your only copy of something. Inevitably, circumstances arise that make it advisable to deviate slightly from the schedule. Sometimes, students themselves are important in determining this.
Some classes gallop along at a fast pace, whereas others move slowly.
Some classes develop great interest in one topic, others in another. If a change poses a particular problem for you, let me know, and we'll see if something can be worked out. The Pennsylvania State University encourages qualified persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you have a physical or mental limitation that requires an accommodation or an academic adjustment, please arrange a meeting with me at your earliest convenience, but no later than the second week of the semester.
