Strict Late Work Policy

I do recognize that sometimes emergencies come up. In order to allow for this, you have the option to turn in two (2) assignments (any assignments from weekly Discussion Board to essays) up to one (1) week late (except for the last project).

To do this:

You MUST notify me via email that your work will be late NO LATER THAN THE DAY AFTER THE WORK IS DUE! If you email me an NQA three days later, it will not be accepted and you will get a zero on the assignment. Please don't just write a note when you submit the assignment. This must be done as an email. I do not check the comments section of assignments for NQAs.
Put the subject line as “NQA Name of Assignment” and just tell me that the work will be late.
I do NOT need an explanation—that is the NQA piece: no questions asked.
Then when you complete the work, you will need to email me again, telling me that the work is complete. I do not go back to constantly check that you have posted your work. It is your responsibility to tell me your work has been submitted.

There is no penalty for doing this two times. But only two. I ABSOLUTELY do not take more late work than this. For ANY REASON! It is not fair to others who may have worked through the emergency or just decided to forgo an assignment to let others turn in late work as often as they want.

This RULE is 100% non-negotiable. If you do not like this rule, then please drop the class today.

Remember, we have many weeks together, so if you choose to use your NQAs in the first couple of weeks, you will have a long semester of making sure no emergencies happen!
