Grading
It is my goal to complete grades within one week. Exceptions include SUU holidays and breaks. I understand that grades are important to you. If you have a question about your grade, contact me within one week after grading. There will be no potential changes after one week. I am always happy to review your test or assignment.
Assignments are due on the due date. Late assignments will be marked as zero, except under extenuating circumstances (not including - I slept in, the internet went out, I forgot, etc.).
Student Communication
All student communication (oral and written) must be professional. Professional emails must be written. "Hey, professor" is not considered professional, and you may not receive a response.
Detailed instructions and rubrics for assignments, quizzes, and exams are in Canvas. Please check Canvas first before emailing me with a question. Emails will be answered within 24 hours during weekdays.
See assignment instructions for Writing Center/Fellows requirements.
LATE/MAKE-UP WORK
Late Work: Work turned in late will receive a zero (except for extenuating circumstances). Most assignment due dates will be Friday at 5 PM. Assignments need to be legible and typed on a computer. No handwritten assignments will be accepted.
Makeup Work or In-Class Activities: No make-ups without medical or equivalent (e.g., school excused) reasons or under extreme circumstances.
In extreme circumstances (e.g., COVID, illness), arrangements for make-up should be made with the instructor within a week of the missed class or exam.
For school-excused activities, arrangements for making up in-class work must be made before the date of absence. According to Policy 6.30, you must inform the instructor of the dates you will miss class due to school-related activities before the anticipated absence. For activities whose schedules are known before the start of the semester, you must provide the instructors with a written schedule during the first week of the semester showing the days you expect to miss class. For other university-excused absences, you must provide the instructor with the earliest advanced written notice of the classes you will miss.
Cell Phones
CELL PHONES NEED TO BE TURNED OFF DURING CLASS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
Cell phones are great technology and we will use them occasionally with class activities. If you have an emergency, please use your phone in the hallway. The ringing/buzzing/vibrating of a cell phone in class is disruptive and negatively affects your learning and those around you.
