[This information is as presented in the syllabus by Professor Williams and concerns all sections of the course.]

Given the fact that scheduling difficulties unforeseeable or beyond a student’s control may well occur during a term, the following policy is applied to all sections.

ONE essay may be up to one calendar week late, without explanation, but WITH apt notice to your section leader (at or before the due date for submission) and without penalty.

This week is indivisible, thus once section hour is over on the date the essay is due, the essay is counted as late, and the "crisis week," if invoked, has been spent. Any other essay which is late will be under pressure for the achievement of any given grade, at about the equivalent of one third a letter grade for every day it is late. (Thus an A becomes an A-, etc.) In short, you may still achieve a good grade, given a short delay and an increasingly superlative essay. But the achievement will need to be really quite superlative.

Please keep in touch with your section leader about your progress and plans.

ALL ESSAYS MUST BE SUBMITTED AT (section) CLASS TIME DIRECTLY TO THE SECTION LEADER.
