LATE PAPERS: Students should turn papers in at the specified deadline, except under extraordinary circumstances.
Illness.
Two other major assignments due on the same day. In which case you need to turn in a note signed by those two teachers when the paper is due (Or you could have them send me an email).
Other: such as family emergency, considered on a case-by-case basis. Such excuses may be certified by a note from your advisor or a dean.
NOT AN ACCEPTABLE EXCUSE:
You spent time involved in an extra-curricular activity instead of working on the assignment.
You have a lot of other assignments due this week.
I will enter an absence for any student who has not turned in a paper or a note by the end of the period in which it is due. This late paper policy may not apply to papers due on the day of the final or to research papers or projects.
