Q: “May I turn in this late homework or journal assignment?”
A: No, homework and journals are accepted only on
the date due.
Q: “May I turn in this late essay?”
A:
Yes, late essays are accepted, but they will be marked LATE and the
number of days late will be noted. The
paper grade will be lowered because of its lateness, and I reserve the right to
lower the grade as I see fit depending on how late the paper and why it was
late.
Q: “May I make up a quiz?”
A: Yes, but only before the class takes the quiz.
If you know of or anticipate an absence, you need to schedule a time to take the quiz.
Once the class has taken the quiz, it is too late.
Q: “I was sick, so I couldn’t come to class.
May I be excused?”
A: No, I do not differentiate between excused and unexcused absences. I allow one week’s worth of absences before I penalize.
That means you may be sick for a week, without child care for a week, on
jury duty for a week, out of town for a week, etc.
One week out of a semester is more than enough time to take care of
personal matters. If not, you will be missing out on vital information and
work; therefore, your performance and grade in the class will suffer.
