C.    Late Assignments
Assignments are due at the beginning of class (after collection they are considered late).  Late assignments will be accepted but will be penalized 10% of total grade, per class - no exceptions!  Early submission is allowed.  Absolutely no assignment will be accepted after the end of the 15th class session, regardless of the reason.


D.    Withdrawal Policy

A student must officially withdraw at the registrar’s office to receive a grade of “W”.  Failure to withdraw officially will result in a grade based on the grading policy for this class.


E.    Written Work

When written work is required, the quality of work turned in must be in a professional format, i.e., typewritten, double-spaced and grammatically correct.
F.    Incomplete
An Incomplete must be requested by the student and is given for completing one or two assignments missed at the end of the semester due to a serious emergency situation. 

 

Attendance All students are expected to attend all scheduled class sessions.  It is the student’s responsibility to make up work missed due to absences.  Attendance is taken at every session.

Help If at any time during the semester help is needed, please contact the instructor.  DO NOT wait until near the end of the semester to ask for help.  It will probably be too late.
