Submitting the Extra Credit

This blog post is relevant for both sections of Jack Julian's Econ 122 classes (section 006 TR 11 a.m. and section 008 TR 2 p.m.).

IMPORTANT: I will NOT accept any papers via email.

Technically, the papers are due in class on Thursday. However, I am willing to accept your paper until "the close of business" in the Department of Economics. Typically, the office closes at 4:30 p.m. Until that time you will be able to drop it off at my office. There will be a box or a file folder or something outside my office door where you may place the completed paper.

If you have not been to my office, it is 213-B McElhaney Hall. The office is in the main suite of the Department of Economics (213 McElhaney). It is not difficult to find. It is on the top floor of the building. There are a few classrooms, the Office of the Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Department of Economics. Once you enter the main entry to the department offices, my office is to the left, end of the hallway. The secretary can help guide you to my office. Do not leave the paper with the secretary. It is not her job to collect papers.

Why I won't accept emailed papers: I will need to have a hard copy for marking up and reading. This is a cost traditionally borne by the student.

Why I won't accept late papers: The deadline may be rather arbitrary but I have to cut it off at some point. I don't want this paper hanging over your head as you need to prepare for finals, including the one in this class. I know you can make your own choices as to what works best for you, time-resource allocation-wise, but I also need to allocate time to grading them. Come finals week I'll need to be preoccupied with scoring those. I hope to be able to get your extra credit papers scored so that it can be returned at the final exam. Please don't try to negotiate this.

Good luck. The paper really shouldn't be that difficult, but you need to do a good job. I know this isn't an English class but it is a college class. At this point you should know how to write a good paper.
