King Henry VIII History 230: The Roots of England

Essays (40%)

Over the course of the semester, I will provide more information concerning the following assignments.

Extensions: I will grant NO extensions on or after the due date. I will provide an extension only if:

Late Papers: Late papers will suffer a penalty of 10% for each day they are late. Thus, a B- paper turned in a day late will become a C- paper. The meter runs on weekends just as on weekdays. If a paper is due on a Friday, it will be one day late on Saturday (10% off), two days late on Sunday (20% off), and three days late on Monday (30% off). The meter also keeps running during holidays and breaks. It is your responsibility to get the paper to me in such a manner that I can verify you completed it by a certain time.

Two Days of Grace: Over the course of the semester, I will provide you with two days worth of grace on late papers. You can spend both days on one paper (turning it in two days late with no penalty) or one day on two different papers (with no penalty on either one).

Completing Papers and Obtaining a Passing Grade: You must obtain a passing grade on ALL papers to pass the class. In other words, if you turn in a C paper (75%) three days late (30% penalty) and obtain an F (45%), you will fail the paper and fail the course.
