carefully before you answer the following questions. Failure to follow the specific

Type your answers into one Microsoft WORD document. Submit your WORD
document in the correct Exam Assignment Folder If the Exam Assignment Folder is
closed then attach your WORD document to an email and transmit your email to the
following email address:

The exam late penalty will be based on the time and date stamp placed on your email by
your email provider when it is transmitted. The late penalty is not negotiable.
Explaining why you are submitting your exam late will not change the late penalty.
If you ask for the late penalty to be reduced or to be waived then you will lose 3 points
off your final average grade at the end of the semester and this is in addition to the
normal late penalty for submitting your exam late.
