Course Policies

1. Assignment Format: All written work must be typed, double-spaced, printed legibly in black ink, and follow MLA style. Use only The MLA Handbook, 6th edition or later, hard copy, available in the JMU library, in all area bookstores, and online. Online MLA style guides are usually incorrect. Unreadable or improperly formatted papers will receive an F.

2. Due Dates: All written work is due in class at the start time. See me before the deadline if you do not understand any assignment or run into any other sort of difficulty. If you will be unable to submit your work at the assigned place or time, make pre-deadline arrangements with me to submit it early. Work is submitted when I receive it in-hand, not when it arrives in my mailbox or under my office door. I will accept one late assignment at the start time of the next class meeting and dock the assignment one full letter grade.

3. The JMU Honor Code: The Code applies to all work completed in this class. Handing in work constitutes your pledge of academic honesty. Plagiarism will result in failing the course and referral for disciplinary action by the Honor Council and the College of Arts and Letters.

4. Students With Disabilities: If you have a diagnosed disability, it is your responsibility to notify the Office of Disability Services and me so that we can work together to meet your learning needs.

5. Academic Support: I encourage all students to access the academic support services available on campus.

6. Office Hours: I will always be in my office, Keezell 406, during posted office hours unless otherwise announced. Please feel free to drop by or make an appointment to see me during those times.

7. Inclement Weather: Class meets if the university is open. If I am unable to get to campus, I will notify the class via email and by having a notice posted outside our classroom door.
