Turn in all internship forms (except the application which will be collected in class on Sept. 24) to Valorie Bruce or Adrienne Keiper in SSB 315. To ensure that the process flows smoothly, it is imperative that you all comply with these requirements on a timely basis. *The TAs can allocate up to 5% in extra credit making the total possible points in this class = 105%.



Each assignment has a detailed set of instructions and guidelines, including format requirements. Unless otherwise specified, all assignments must be turned in at the beginning of class on the scheduled due date. Late assignments will lose 10% per day late, including weekends (i.e., a grade of 90% will become 80% if it is one day late, 70% if it is two days late, 60% if it is three days, etc). All assignments should be bound with a staple (no paper clips). We will not accept assignments sent by e-mail. You need a C- or higher in order for this class to count towards your major. Please note, if you are not passing a class because you have fallen behind in your work, you are not necessarily eligible for an Incomplete. Per Academic Senate Policy, the grade I may be assigned to a student only when the work is of non-failing quality, but is incomplete for good cause (illness, for example). The deadline for filing a request for an Incomplete shall be no later than the first working day after final examination week. If you decide to withdraw from a class, you can do so until the end of the ninth week (via Triton Link).
