TURNING IN YOUR PAPER ON MONDAY 4/21

Your paper is due at the beginning of class on Monday, even if you are absent.  You will have approximately fifteen minutes to download your paper from Google Drive, check the formatting in Microsoft Word and upload your paper to Turnitin.com.  So your paper should be entirely written -- including the conclusion and the works cited page (see the MLA formatting document on the American Voices page).

Please note that very few questions will be answered on Monday as the expectation is that your paper is complete when you walk in the door.

Late papers will be deducted 5% for every day they are late:

• 5% deduction -- submitted after class on Monday 4/21 until Tuesday 4/22 at 11:59 pm
• 10% deduction -- submitted on Wednesday 4/23 until 11:59 pm
• 15% deduction -- submitted on Thursday 4/24 until 11:59 pm 
• 20% deduction -- submitted on Friday 4/25 until 11:59 pm 
• 25% deduction -- submitted on Monday 4/28 until 11:59 pm 
• 50% deduction -- submitted after Monday 4/28
