Late Work
Late work (even one minute late) will only be eligible for half credit. Any assignments printed during class are considered late. You will always have more than enough advance notice to get your papers printed before class. Intent to print a document just before class being thwarted by a malfunctioning printer does not justify your late work. An employer would not accept this excuse; neither will I.
Any work submitted more than one week after the due date must be submitted for zero credit. You will get credit for turning the assignment in, but it will count as a zero in your final grade.
You must complete all of the major assignments for the class (even if for zero credit) in order to pass the class.
Formatting
In order that I can easily read your assignments, I have some guidelines for you to follow in formatting any paper. I will have to read 70 papers each time you have to write 1, so I will require that your papers adhere to the following guidelines:
- use 8 ½" x 11" paper—you pretty much have to
- minimum of 1" margins—I need some space to write you feedback
- 12 point font size—any smaller hurts my eyes; any larger looks like a billboard
- Times New Roman font typeface—don't choose fonts that look like a Dr. Seuss book or a 1950's typewriter
- not right justified—this makes reading the paper difficult
- no dot-matrix papers—these printers have awful quality; I could write better in crayon
Keep in mind that most careers you might choose will have very specific guidelines for submitting work, so this is good practice. Any assignment that does not adhere to these guidelines (unless otherwise noted in the assignment sheet) will result in a penalty of a full letter grade.
