Late Assignments: For the Rough Draft, failure to submit the assignment by the due date means you cannot participate in the Peer Feedback assignment and may not receive feedback on your draft. For the Final Draft, a late assignment will have a FULL letter grade deducted from the total score the first day the assignment is late, and 1/3 of a letter grade for any subsequent days. In other words, an “A quality” project that is a day late would receive a “B.” The same project that is two days late would receive a “B-.” Plagiarism While this is an “open-book” assignment, you are still expected to work independently on writing this assignment.
