Students unable to submit an assignment on the due date should discuss the matter in advance with the professor. At the professor’s discretion, late assignments may not be accepted. Where late assignments are accepted, the professor will apply a late penalty. 2. Test dates and assignment due dates are announced in class. Students are responsible for keeping track of these dates. There will be no makeup quiz, midterm or final for any reason whatsoever. 3. Success in this course is based heavily on in-class participation and assignments, therefore; attendance and active in-class participation is essential to a student’s success. All in-class assignments must be completed in-class; they cannot be made up with a take-home. Failure to attend these classes will therefore result in zero in that particular assignment.
