All assignments must be handed in on time, and the instructor reserves the right to issue a course grade of F if ANY assignment is not completed.  Late assignments will not be accepted unless three criteria are met:

1.    At least 24 hours before the date due, the instructor gives explicit permission to the student to hand the assignment in late.  This criterion can be met only in the most serious of health, family, or personal situations.

2.    At the same time, a specific date and time are agreed upon for the late submission.

3.    The assignment is then submitted on or before the agreed-upon date and time.
