THE SYLLABUS IS MADE FOR STUDENTS . . .AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND

What do I mean by that, students?   Simply this:  that the syllabi that I provide in each instructional unit are intended to help YOU manage YOUR time.   The dates shown in the syllabus, and the due dates, are meant to be suggestive, not inflexible.

Because this is true, students should not become alarmed if they sometimes are unable to hand in an item precisely when it is shown on the syllabus.  Students should not be surprised if sometimes an item is given out at a later date than shown.  

The important thing is that students should try to complete all the items before the end of the unit.
Once the unit is over, there IS a grace period of one week to hand in any items not completed.  After that date, they will not be accepted.
