Grading System

Course Policies

Attendance is a requirement. Try to be in class every meeting and on time as much as possible. Your grade will be affected if poor attendance is made. All papers/assignments/projects must be handed in at the beginning of the class session, or on the date agreed upon. No late assignments/projects will be accepted unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor/professor. The classroom is a place of civility. There will be presentations of lectures by the instructor/professor and by the students. Your active participation is highly encouraged. Material from presentations, and issues brought up in class will be covered on the exam. You will get more out of the course if you consistently keep up with the readings. Waiting to do the readings before exams invariably results in poor exam grades. Being unprepared to discuss the issues of the class meeting also results in poor participation grades. Academic integrity standards will be strictly enforced. Plagiarism or cheating on exams will result in a failing grade for the course. Time Management and Getting through This Course. Please devote enough time to your studies to do quality work. Classroom Behavior and a Positive Learning Environment. The classroom is a place of discoverytrying out new ways of learning about the world. Any behavior that detracts from that process will not be tolerated.
