The following deadlines will not be waived. Not adhering to them will result in a lower, possibly failing grade. A "rewrite" can seriously lower your grade, and some deadlines do not allow time for rewrites. You should, whenever possible, submit papers before the final deadlines. Remember: you may only submit one paper or rewrite at a time. All previous papers must by "Okayed" before you may submit the next paper. Beginning April 10, during workdays, you may miss class in order, for example, to take the C-Test. However, it is your responsibility to come to class to submit/receive papers to meet deadlines.
