Late Assignments: All assignments are due by the time and date noted on the syllabus. Late assignments will be docked one full letter grade per 24 hours up to three days late (A to D). Assignments will not be accepted more than 72 hours late unless there is a legitimate excuse as noted under the absence policy. If you know you will be late in turning an assignment in or absent on the day the assignment will take place, you are expected to turn that assignment in prior to your absence to receive full credit. Lack of access to, or technical difficulties with, computers are unacceptable excuses for late or missed assignments.

Grade Protest Policy: To ask the instructor to consider a grade change, the procedure is as follows: Within one week of the hand-back date the student must provide in writing to Dr. Guiliano a detailed description of the complaint including why the grade is considered insufficient. The student will then schedule a specific individual meeting with the instructor to discuss the grade. Grades will not be discussed prior to or following any class, nor will they be discussed during office hours without prior notice to the instructors. If there is a question about improving one’s grade or the grading metrics used, then the student is encouraged to make an appointment during office hours.
