Reading the assigned text is the student’s responsibility, and is essential to success in this course. It
should be noted though that it is in your best academic interest to read material
before
the week of
lecture/discussion as to aid in your understanding. Any deadlines are final and your work is due on the
day specified (11:59:59 PM). Any late work will not be accepted for full credit.
Please refrain from doing anything that might be disruptive and disturb other students or the instructor,
such as chronically arriving late, leaving early, talking with neighbors, or texting. This class does not
require the use of a laptop computer, therefore they are not allowed to be operated in lecture periods
unless permission is granted by the professor.

harassment based on sex and gender are Civil Rights offenses subject to accountability and support. If
you or someone you know has been harassed or assaulted, contact the professor or any other DCB
