The curriculum for this course is organized on a week-by-week basis, with regular seminars being dependent upon full pre-class student preparation for their success.  Late assignments are also often an extra burden from an instructor standpoint.  Due dates should be noted and met.

However, I appreciate that there may be occasions where a very few extra days to polish an assignment in the midst of competing deadlines can be helpful, and thus I deliberately assume a good-faith effort on the part of students to meet the due dates and provide a small cushion of flexibility without any academic penalty.   That does not mean the due dates are unimportant or that extensions are automatically granted.  You should discuss possible extensions with me directly and I reserve the right to refuse to accept any late assignment if you do not check in with me first.

As a general rule, no assignment will be accepted more than two weeks late.

Homework Assignments should be submitted at the beginning of the class session for which they are due.  The entire logic of the Homework Assignments is that they are designed to help you to be ready to contribute to individual Seminar Discussions.
