Late Paper Policy: Deadlines are strict.
Barring personal crisis, family emergency, or severe illness (please let
me know ahead of time), all late papers will be subject to one half grade
off per day late. Except for abrupt crises, no requests for extensions
will be heard within 48 hours before the deadline (that includes for reasons
of computer malfunctioning, minor illnesses or being "behind").
