I. Course Policies
A. Grades
Late Work Policy: There are no make-ups for in-class writing, quizzes, the midterm, or the final exam. Written
projects turned in late will be assessed a penalty: 5% loss of the associated point value of the assignment each date it
is late. Written projects will not be accepted if overdue by more than seven days.
Group Work Policy: Everyone must take part in a group oral presentation and/or written project. All members of a
group will receive the same score; that is, the project is assessed and everyone receives this score. Once formed,
groups cannot be altered or switched, except for reasons of extended hospitalization.
C. Student Expectations
Attendance Policy: Attendance will be taken at the beginning of every class. If you are more than fifteen minutes
late, you will be marked with an absence. You should be in each and every class, though I understand that things
sometimes come up. I would appreciate some advanced notice if you know you will be absent, and I expect you to
exchange your contact information with a few other classmates so that if you are out, you can contact them for
information on what you missed in class. You are responsible for getting the information you missed. Please keep in
mind that each time you are absent, you miss a lot of in-class discussion that may affect your overall understanding
of the topics being covered and inevitably your performance.
Professionalism Policy: Attendance is required – both physically and mentally. You are expected to take an active
role in class discussions. Also, please make sure your phone is off or on buzz (and buried deep inside your
backpack), so it’s not heard while in class. Save your text messaging for after class or at break. I do not want to see
anyone text messaging during class.
