4. All assignments must be submitted by the due date. They have to be turned in no later than in the beginning of the hour on the due day. Please plan accordingly-you must print your paper ahead of time.
Assignments turned in after the papers had been picked up will be considered late, and the grade will be adjusted accordingly. 5. Late essays/research papers will receive a full grade reduction: An "A" paper will drop to a "B". An assignment that is more than ten calendar days late, will receive a partial credit- no more than 50%. 6. Your absence is not an excuse for not having your work completed. All assignments are posted on the web site. All necessary materials outside of your text book are available for download. It is entirely your responsibility to keep up with the work, including studying for tests and quizzes, if you were absent. Medical absences or medical issues that prevent students from completing their work on time will be address on individual basis. Exam Review
