DUE DATES FOR ASSIGNM<strong>EN</strong>TS&POP QUIZZESWritten assignments are due at the beginning of the scheduled class period the day they are due.With the exception of blog responses, assignments will be accepted late one class date afterthe due date for a 15% penalty. (Blog assignments must be turned in on time for credit.)Assignments offered later than one class day late will be accepted at the discretion of theinstructor for no more than half-credit.Students should write ―-15%‖ at the top of the assignment when offering it one-day late tothe instructor.Students who do not turn in work with the rest of the class will not receive reminders to turn it inlater; the burden is on the student to offer late work to the teacher. Students returning to classafter absences should check the Student Handbook for the policy regarding make-up work.Please be aware that absence from class does not excuse you from fully participating in class theday of your return. For example, if a quiz (whether a pop quiz or an announced quiz) is giventhe day of your return, you are required to take it, even if you were not in class to hear anassignment or to take notes. Always check with a reliable classmate regarding what went on inclass the day you were absent. Choose a classmate on the first day of the course to pick upany handouts to take to you if you have to be absent. You may call me at my home (328-7464) for clarification of assignments, if necessary.Pop quizzes will be given often on reading assignments; questions will come from facts in theworks, from the biographical introductions to the authors, from vocabulary from the readings,and from information presented in class (and which should be in the student’s notes!). Alwaysconsult the syllabus for daily readings. Regardless of what we cover in class discussions orpresentations, always read the syllabus assignment for the class dates indicated. If a readingassignment was not discussed during class, review it for the next class period; you may have apop quiz!Pop quizzes usually consist of four to ten questions; “announced” quizzes are generally longer.Questions for oral pop quizzes asked at the beginning of class will not be repeated if a studentarrives tardy to class.9
