If, however, the student's need for a conference is more along the lines of aca-demic progress, the student no matter how many classes he might have missed should come by to discuss viable options. Each student is required to meet with the instructor at least twice. The purpose of both conferences is to ensure that progress is being made toward the satisfactory completion of the research paper. An acceptable paper one that reflects the student s sincere effort to complete the assignment on his or her own must be submitted in order for the student to receive credit for the course. No late work is accepted without severe penalty unless the student and the instructor agree on a different due date well in advance of the original due date.
Severe penalty means one letter grade off for each calendar day the assignment is late.
Assignments not meeting any of the minimum requirements will not be read and will earn a zero. To help students with disabilities achieve their highest potential, accommodations on examinations or assignments may be granted. All bibliographies and works-cited pages, as well as the researched essays, must be typed. Papers must be argued from the third-person and in the literary present tense. All essays and papers submitted must have a title that is both appropriate and adequate.
