policy on late work
Extensions for research report or book report presentation assignments will only be granted in cases where the team needing an extension negotiates a "trade" with another group for their timeslot. If your partner bails on you, you become responsible for presenting their content on their behalf(!).
Extensions for the final project deliverable may be granted in extreme cases. The more notice you provide of the reason for and duration of the extension, the better.
accommodations
Please contact the instructor if you require special accommodations due to learning disabilities, religious practices, physical requirements, medical needs, or any other reasons.
academic integrity
Please note that all work for this class is assumed to be your own. Submitting any final work that is not your own or failure to document the words or ideas of others is a violation of academic integrity. Failure to document sources-including distinctive language, phrases, or ideas-is plagiarism, and can result in serious consequences including failure on the assignment, failure in the course, or disciplinary action by the University. For additional information about plagiarism, see the "Academic and Professional Integrity Policy Statement" in the SI Master's Student Handbook and Appendix B of the Rackham Graduate Student Handbook.
