No more assignments will be accepted. You should have been tracking your scores throughout the semester and if you noticed a deficiency, you needed to report it immediately and resubmit the assignment. I will be submitting grades by early Thursday morning and do not have time to grade any additional assignments. If you are missing any grades for assignments you submitted but I did not receive, and you wish to get an incomplete, you must contact me by Wednesday at 4pm. Thanks so much and happy holidays to all of you!

I am still grading final projects. I will record those scores tomorrow.

Documentation Guidelines

By the way (for fun) . . .

Do not put statements in the negative form.
And don't start sentences with a conjunction.
If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a
great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all.
De-accession euphemisms.
If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.

- William Safire, "Great Rules of Writing"
