Submitted work will be assessed and graded Missed Exams and Late Papers: Outside of sudden illness and unforeseen circumstances, missed exams will receive a zero. If for some reason you will be absent on the day of the exam, arrangements to take the exam during a different class period must be made prior to the day of the exam. Papers will lose 10 (ten) points for every day they are late. Papers will only be accepted up to five (5) days past the due date. If you face circumstances that will prevent you from turning the paper in on time, please notify me in advance. I will determine what accommodations should be made on a case-by-case basis.等級
