Since we’ll be using your writing in our class activities and workshops, it’s crucial that your work is submitted on time. As such, late work will incur substantial penalties. On-time submission means by or before the due date/time. If you’re late but submit the work within 48 hours of the due date/time, you can receive 75% of the credit allowed for the work. If you’re late but submit the work within 168 hours (one week) of the due date/time, you can receive 25% of the credit allowed for the work.
After one week, the work won’t be assigned any of the points listed, but you still have to submit it in order to get credit for the other parts of the associated assignment. In addition, any writing that is done collaboratively or in class is required even though it doesn’t have a specific number of points assigned (marked with * on schedule). Any of the marked pieces not submitted will result in a one-point deduction from the associated assignment grade.
All assignments have specific requirements around the submission.
