Submitting papers and class work: Papers and class work completed outside of class are due at the beginning of class. These papers will not be accepted if placed in the instructor's mailbox, under the door, sent by e-mail, or any other delivery mode. Papers can only be turned in by the student in person to the instructor at the beginning of the class on the due date, or if the student anticipates a future absence on the day that a paper or class work is due, the student may turn in the work prior to that class in person. No responses or class work will be accepted late or under any other circumstances.
Make‑up work: Major papers may be turned in late (up to three days from the due date). Late papers will receive a grade reduction of one full letter (e.g., an A+ becomes a B+). After three days, the paper's grade is F. Students with valid excuses may make up major papers and will not be penalized by grade, though they have up to three days to submit late work. Assignments that we do in class and homework cannot be made up.
Grading: Grades for themes are non‑numerical (i.e., A, B, C, D, and F) and are based on an analytic scale. Papers are graded holistically. Marginal comments from the instructor do not represent everything that may need attention in a paper. Students are invited to make appointments or visit during regular office hours to discuss any graded assignment.All students are encouraged to inquire about their progress and performance in this course. Any student may do so during regular office hours without appointment. Other times, by appointment, are also available for conference.
Attendance: Each student is permitted TWO absences during the five-week summer term. After the allowable absences, the student's final grade is reduced by one/third of a letter value (e.g., an A+ would become an A; a B‑ would become a C+). Students not present for the final on the last day of class will receive an F for the test. This is not negotiable.
