Policies concerning papers
(1) Any student requiring an extension should arrange for one at least three days in advance of handing in the paper. A paper without an extension will be considered late and penalized accordingly. A letter grade will be deducted from the grade for every full week or fraction thereof that the paper is late.
(2) I expect that first drafts will be complete papers: that is, not just a collection of notes or a few paragraphs without a conclusion. I will not comment on or hold conferences about drafts that are not complete. Unsatisfactory first drafts will have to be re-written until they are deemed satisfactory.
(3) Papers must be printed when they are handed in. I will not accept e-mail attachments.
(4) Handing in all of the papers (drafts and final versions) is a necessary condition for receiving a merit grade in the class.
