No late work accepted! Only typed, 12 font Times Roman, double spaced work accepted as indicated on weekly schedules. Online-All writing assignments to be completed in MLA format for credit on day due. All essays MUST BE SUBMITTED to Turnitin.com VIA Canvas in a timely fashion or will receive No Credit. That is where they will be commented upon and graded. Note if instructor comments are not reviewed by you then none will be made any further, however conferences during office hours are always available to you to discuss any concerns.

Do not ask me to accept late work. DO NOT EMAIL ME any work unsolicited by me. Do not wait FIVE minutes--or even an hour--before something is due to begin your upload process: Canvas delays, online issues, IPad crashes, power dying, travel schedules, and slow servers are not reasons for submitting late work. Submit your work as early as possilble. If due dates and times do not work for you submit early. Plan ahead. Do not let procrastination or technology be your downfall in this class. Again plan ahead. Canvas will lock you out once due date has passed.

Review all GAI (generative artificial intellegence) policies under My Classroom Policies in the Syllabus link to make sure you understand these policies as they apply to each assigned task in this course.
