30%- Final papers, projects, and presentations
Absences/Make-up work: If you are absent, plan to have a neighbor, sibling, or family member collect your work. You are always welcome to call or email me if you have any questions. You need to turn in your work the day you return unless you have made other arrangements. This work will not be considered late!
Late work: All assignments should be submitted on time. If you are unable to submit your assignment on time, you are expected to make arrangements with me for an alternative due date. Please make these arrangements via email or in person prior to class. If your work is chronically late we will create a plan to help you complete your work in a timely fashion.
Late assignments will lose 5% on the first day, and 10% on the second day, all the way to a potential loss of 30%. Get your work in on time!
