Assistance
Essays and outlines will not be given complete feedback within 48-hours of the due date. After the 48-hour cutoff, you can still get targeted feedback on specific sections of your essay. If you want feedback on your entire essay or outline, please plan ahead. 

Students have access to the SMSU writing center. Please register for an account and plan to submit any written assignments there for review prior to turning them in. Additionally, students are expected to find sources using academic databases, which can be accessed through SMSU's Library, or through Elibrarymn.org. All sources should be academic in nature, reviewed for reliability, and published within the given time-frame (generally, five years). 

Late/Incomplete Work
No assignments will be accepted late.  

Individual exceptions may be considered if students contact me no less than 48 hours prior to the due date. Extensions are only applicable to the student requesting the extension. Extensions are not universal unless told otherwise.  Not completing any of the major course assignments results in failure of the course. Absence from class does not preclude you from due dates, nor do computer problems. Be prepared; keep copies of work in multiple locations.
