ENGLISH DEPARTMENT POLICIES APPLICABLE TO ALL
CLASSES
1. Students are expected and required to type
formal papers and use MLA style guidelines for citation and formatting.
2. Turning in work late, if an instructor agrees to accept it, will
result in a reduction to the grade for the late assignment; teachers
may make exceptions in special cases (e.g., severe illness).
3. Neither technological (e.g., computer, printer) nor organic (e.g.,
pets, siblings) problems or malfunctions excuse students from the
responsibility of having assignments completed and ready to turn in on
schedule. If the work is not completed on time according to the
instructor's verbal or written directions, the work will be considered
late.
4. Instructors may return ungraded work to students that does not meet
minimum
standards of criteria of quality (e.g., legibility) or which does not
conform to the assignment guidelines. Teachers may at their option mark
the work either "Not Completed as Assigned - Revise and Resubmit" and
consider the resubmitted work late, or the instructor may simply enter
a zero for that assignment's grade.
5. Plagiarism (cheating) will not be tolerated and may result in a
failing grade for the course in addition to other penalties. The
student handbook defines plagiarism and its consequences.
