*Any graded paper turned in late will automatically receive a 10 point deduction. An additional 10 points will be deducted for each additional late day. A late paper cannot receive an A, so a late paper that would normally score a 100 will receive an 89.
A grading rubric will be given to students when they are working on a project. Usually, this will be provided at the beginning of the project so that the students know what is expected of them. The rubric will list point values for each part of the project and will be used to determine the grade earned on the project. A lost rubric will mean a loss of points on the project grade.
Avoiding plagiarism is an important topic that I teach to students. Students will be taught how to write without plagiarizing. Thus, plagiarism will not be tolerated and could result in failure of the assignment.
