Policy on late assignments

The due dates of all assignments are stated clearly – failure to submit an assignment by the due date, without a valid written reason beforehand, will result in the loss of 5% of the assignment’s value for each day beyond the due date and your paper will be returned to you much later than other papers. Reasonable requests for extensions may be granted, but requests must be made at least 24 hours before the assignment is due. For obvious reasons extensions cannot be granted for the presentations.

Academic integrity

UBC policy on academic honesty states: 

“Academic honesty is essential to the continued functioning of the University of British Columbia as an institution of higher learning and research. All UBC students are expected to behave as honest and responsible members of an academic community. Breach of those expectations or failure to follow the appropriate policies, principles, rules, and guidelines of the University with respect to academic honesty may result in disciplinary action.”

Attendance

You are expected to attend every class. Should you have a religious observance that will prevent you from attending class, from completing an assignment on time, please be sure to let us know at least two weeks in advance so that alternate arrangements can be made.

Disability and Accommodation

If you have an impairment that requires accommodation in this course, please speak to a member of faculty or provide them with documentation and recommendations from the Disability Resources Centre.
