In
each project there is a main assignment. Most projects have additional
requirements such as discussion postings and
a process memo.
No late work will be
accepted after the D2L Dropbox locks. The D2L assignment dropbox
will lock 24 hours after the due date. Work submitted after the due date,
during this 24-hour grace period, will have a 1-point late penalty. You
are expected to work steadily on assignments throughout the term.
Procrastinating writing until the night before an assignment is due does NOT
allow time for good practice of the writing process. When you
procrastinate, you risk submitting first drafts rather than your best work.
I do not encourage procrastination. The grace period should be necessary
only in emergencies, such as computer crashes. In the event that you
do not submit an assignment before the dropbox locks, then that assignment will receive a grade of
zero or F.
All course work must be completed and turned
in by 11:59 p.m., Thursday, July 24, 2008.
