Make-up and Late Submission Policy

All assignments are due by 11:59 p.m. on the date specified in the course schedule. Because of the compressed five-week schedule, late work cannot be accommodated except in cases of documented illness or other unforeseen circumstances. Extensions must be requested in writing before the due date. Reading quizzes cannot be made up.

Alternative Procedures for Submitting Work

All written work in this course is submitted as a Google Doc, with the shareable link posted in the corresponding Canvas assignment by the deadline. If you cannot submit via Canvas or are unable to share the Google Doc, contact the professor immediately to arrange an alternative.

Participation

Extra Credit

There are no extra credit assignments in this course.
