1. You may make up quizzes and the essay exam if you have a university-accepted excuse.  You have one week from the time yo return to class to make up your work.
2. Your paper is due BY the due date.  It is due in class by the beginning of the period.  In an emergency, send it by a friend or upload it to my Blackboard drop-box.  You can turn it in any time until the due date.  After that, the grade drops 5 points per calendar day (including weekends and holidays), regardless of the reason for its being late.

Accommodations for Students with Disabilities 
Students needing testing or classroom accommodations based on a disability are encouraged to discuss those needs with me as soon as possible.

We'll have one essay exam during the quarter & an outside mini-research paper (These are standard for all the 201 & 202 classes).
