Academic Policies

These pages describe the policies I follow in accepting and grading most formal work. They contain information on style, documentation, layout, and my standard policies on extensions and late work. Most of these policies are concerned with essays although some are of application to all types of work. All of these documents are to be considered part of the course syllabus.

These policies are guideliness. If there is something about your situation or work that suggests an exception should or will apply, or if you have any questions about them, please feel free to contact me and ask!
