NOTES:
*
Assignment
details may be accessed by clicking on the links in column 2.
**
Failure to submit an assessment results in a 5% penalty per day until you do so.
***
Sometimes an assignment must be turned in on a day in which you do
not have class.
In that case, just stop by the room and
place
your assignment in the IN folder.
**** It
is not clear when the last day of classes for seniors is but I will not
accept any trimester 3 assignments after this date. Anything due
from previous trimesters must be in by 6/8/09.
Regarding
Due Dates
Failure
to submit a paper at the end of the class on the day it is due or at
the
announced time on a day in which you do not have a class, (for example,
Thursday by 4:10 pm) results in an immediate penalty of 5%.
Another
5% is removed from your grade beginning at noon on the next day, and
every
day thereafter until the score drops to 70. (However, if the due
date is Friday, and you turn the paper in on Monday, you will loose
only
10 points!) If the assignment is never turned in by the final drop
dead
due date at the end of the trimester, the score converts to 0. If
the assignment is turned after the score has dropped to 70, it is
evaluated
as usual, beginning with 70 instead of 100.
NOTE:
If you skip assignment 1 and then turn it in on the last day to gain a
few points.... the best you can get is a 70 and that is assuming you do
a perfect job! One student two years ago turned in a paper in
another
course of mine on the last day and submitted only 31 pts worth of
material.
Well... with the 30 pt late penalty, he got a score of 1.
The
percentage ranges for letter trimester and final grades may be accessed
at: GRADES.
--------------
Due dates
after extensions:
On
occasion it becomes necessary to extend a due date. In that case,
the extended due date is strictly enforced. No further extensions
will be made for any reasons. Five percent per day penalties will
apply even over weekends. So if something is due on a Friday,
REALIZE
the potential consequences if you do not submit your work until Monday.
--------------
e-mail submissions:
No
e-mailed documents are accepted. I will not become your printer
service.
I will not take up my time to compare your e-mail version to the
written
version, that you eventually submit, to make sure that you did not
change
your document after e-mailing me. (It has happened!)
--------------
US Postal
Service / FEDEX / etc. submissions:
If
you are unable to submit a paper before a weekend or holiday, you may
mail
the paper to me via the US Postal service (or Fed Ex, etc.) and I will
accept the cancelation date on the letter as your submittal date.
However see the Mailing Penalty below.
Mailing
Penalty
Unfortunately
due to the large volume of "mailed" submissions and the onerous job of
worrying about lost papers, packages without cancelations, students
staying
home from school all day and then mailing their paper and the job of
unpacking
and securing proof of mailing to the submitted assessment, there is now
a Mailing Penalty of an additional 2% beyond any late penalty.
--------------
Spirit NOTE:
Anyone
caught cheating on ANY assignment will also receive a -5%
grade for
their
spirit grade for the trimester. Of course, a zero grade will be
given
for the assignment as well. No makeup options are available.
Please refer to the SPIRIT
document for details.
