Hardcopy Submission and Electronic
Submission Required
They must be formatted according to the
following conditions OR THEY WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AND WILL BE TREATED AS LATE.
• Formatted in Microsoft Word or Rich Text
Format;
• Title Page with student name, paper title,
assignment information, course, date, and appropriate paper number;
• Header on the page must possess the student’s
last name, assignment information, date, and page number;
• The instructor will try to acknowledge successful
receipt of the paper within 24 hours.
However, if no such electronic notice is received, it
is the student’s responsibility to confirm delivery;
• Responsibility for electronically submitted papers
rests solely with the student; thus, I expect that students supplement all
electronic submissions with hard copy submissions, as soon as possible.
Late Work
Late papers will NOT be accepted, except in unusual
circumstance. If late papers are accepted, there may be a penalty, usually of
one letter-grade per day.
These strict rules apply, in part, because I am giving
you every major assignment for the semester on the first or second week of
class. No excuses for lateness with that much advance warning. If there is a
crisis in your life, please communicate with me about it in a timely fashion.
If you extend me this courtesy, you will find me very amenable to meeting your
needs.
