It is your responsibility to plan ahead and allow yourself enough time to complete assignments for this class to your satisfaction. Assignments will be explained well ahead of the deadline. No extensions will be given on the class presentations, the reading responses, or the final project presentation. You are allowed one 3-day extension in this class, which you may choose to use for either the midterm or the final assignment. When you apply for an extension, we ask that you:
- ask at least 24 hours before the deadline;
- ask for either the midterm or the final assignment, not both: for example, if you get an extension for your midterm, you won’t be able to use it for your final assignment submission
There is no need for you to explain your circumstances: simply email us to let us know you are using your one extension, and you will get it. If you have a documentable and unforeseen emergency, that deserves a separate consideration – please let us know.
If you submit work without an appropriate extension request as stated above, we will deduct your grade 1/3 letter grade every 3 days after the deadline.
Always communicate with us when you need help. We are here to listen and help you succeed in this class.
