Note on Drop Boxes

For the benefit of all students, and to avoid a particular issue that online instructors can create for
themselves, I subscribe to the following policy: Drop Boxes for all six of the module Writings will
remain open until the last day of class, August 8.
When the Drop Boxes close on Friday, August 8 @ 11:59 P.M. No work will be accepted beyond that
point.
Students, of course, should endeavor to stay on track and meet the assignments prescribed due dates,
particularly in a six-week semester. Turning in a paper past the prescribed due date will automatically
flag the paper as late on your Drop Box page, but there will be no penalty for a late paper. This
allowance is for your benefit, but it is not to be abused because falling too far behind will result in
utter chaos on your part particularly in a six-week semester.
As teachers worldwide like to say, a students lack of preparation does not constitute a teachers
emergency. Therefore, the student is responsible for keeping pace even in six-week semester.
