will be a penalty of one mark for each day a piece of work is submitted late
without explanation. (For example, a mark of B+ would become a B, etc.)
Attendance
Course attendance is
expected. Students are responsible for all material presented and discussed
in class. Students are expected to have read the works under discussion and
to be ready to participate in the class discussions.
