Essays (30%)

During the semester, I will provide more information about both of these assignments.

  • Essay 1 (due Thursday, September 26) (10%)
  • Essay 2 (due Thursday, November 21) (20%)

Before turning in your essays (and preferably before you start working on your essays), be sure to read carefully the sections of this website on How to Cite Sources, Tips for Success on Essays, Academic Honesty, and Grading Criteria.

    Extensions: I will grant NO extensions on or after the due date. I will provide an extension only if you produce the necessary documentation from the academic dean's office. 

Turning in Papers: I will not accept papers submitted to me via e-mail. You must give the paper to me in person on the day it is due—before I leave campus.

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.
