WHAT DO I DO, WHEN?

WHEN DO I TURN STUFF IN?

WHAT ABOUT LATE WORK?I won't accept the following work late:

Course Overview Quiz - In-Class Activities

(Individual and Group) - Final Group Essay

I will accept the following work late:

Media Reports - Concert Reviews

* Late work must be submitted no longer than two weeks after the original deadline and will be

marked down one full letter grade.

The Weekly Blackboard Modules contain

that week's objectives, readings,

activities, and assignment information.

This is a discussion-based lecture course.

That means, class will be made up

of short lectures and discussion-based learning activities.

For an overview of all assignments and

due dates, see Syllabus Appendix I: Assignment Packet in the Course

Overview Module.

In-Class Group Activities: Weeks 2-15

Course Overview Quiz: Week 2

PLAGIARISMIf you plagiarize your work, you'll receive no credit for it, and I will report the

infraction to the Dean of Students. If I think

it's somehow accidental, I may allow you to

rework the assignment for partial credit.

You can see my full policy in Syllabus Appendix II: Policies in the Course

Overview Module.

BE HEREThis class doesn't have an attendance policy. That said, you can't make up in-

class activities if you're absent. There are

no exceptions and no differentiation

between an excused or unexcused

absence.

I've scheduled more in-class activities than

you need to receive full points, so you can

miss a few without penalty.
