Section II.I: POLICY ON DUE DATES

1. Literary Journals. (0-100 points each) As part of your grade you will be asked to keep a literary journal, in which you will respond informally to your readings (See section III).
Your two literary journal submissions must be submitted on time for potential full credit.

If you anticipate being absent when a literary journal is due, you are still responsible for making sure that your work is submitted as an e-mailed attachment (MS Word) and on time. Absenteeism is no excuse for late work (See Section III for more information about literary journal submissions).

2. Unit Tests/Final Exam. (0-100 points each) (See section IV of this packet.) You MUST take all unit tests and the final on the scheduled dates. Failure to take a unit test and/or final exam will result in a grade of "0" for the missed test or exam, for I do not offer makeup test/final exam opportunities. Of the five graded pieces (two literary journal submissions, two unit tests, and one final exam), I will be dropping the lowest grade. Thus, I recommend strongly that you make every effort to do all graded activities so that in the event of an emergency or a low test grade, you will have that extra cushion.
