Nothing gets you off the hook like a well written contract and this one will save you a lot of aggravation, worry, and chasing students down when they've agreed to finish coursework.

I use this contract when students have been given an opportunity to make work up after the close of a term, but it could be used under any circumstances.

Students totally understand their responsibility and do not have the opportunity to blame you (the teacher) or anyone else if the coursework is not completed by the due date.

A great stress reducer in a simple contract.
