Assignment Incentive

There is no extra credit for the class. Instead, there is a 10-point incentive if you check-in for the participation activities at least 48 hours before the due date. That works out to a possible 30 points just for checking-in a little early. The late assignment policy below does not apply if you are trying to earn the assignment incentive.

Late Assignment Policy & Assignment extensions

There is a 24-hour grace period for some assignments. Once the grace period has passed, a 20% penalty is applied. You do not need to notify me if you are turning in assignments late. Waiver granted for documented illness or death in the family, but you must notify me as soon as possible if you are asking for a waiver. Students may request no more than two extensions, which must be requested before the assignment due date and time. Absolutely no assignments are accepted after 11:59p on Friday, June 13, 2025. The Late Assignment Policy DOES NOT APPLY to Anthropologists at Work, Participation Activities, or the Final Project.

Academic INTEGRITY

The College regards acts of academic dishonesty, including such activities as plagiarism, cheating and/or/violations of integrity in information technology, as very serious offenses. These offenses are prohibited by the Washington Administrative Code regarding student conduct. In the event that cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty are discovered, each incident will be handled as deemed appropriate. Care will be taken that students’ rights are not violated and that disciplinary procedures are instituted only in cases where documentation or other evidence of the offense(s) exists. A description of all such incidents may be forwarded to the Student Conduct Officer, where a file of such occurrences is maintained. The Student Conduct Officer may institute action against a student according to the college’s disciplinary policies and procedures. For details, view the Cascadia Student Handbook, then select Student Code of Conduct, then view the Cascadia section of the Washington Administrative Code.

In this class, the first occurrence of academic dishonesty results in a zero for the assignment. Repeated occurrences can result in failing the class.
