Classroom Policies:
•
Participation
.
Students are expected to come to class prepared and actively engage in class discussion and
activities. The classroom environment is open and harassment free, so please engaged in discussion. Computers
are welcome in the classroom for note-taking purposes only. If students abuse this privilege, the instructor
reserves the right to ban computers from the lecture periods.
•
Deadlines
.
All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the day that they are due. Students will be
deducted 5 points for every 24-hour period the assignment is not turned in, including weekends.
If a student is aware that they will miss an exam, they must inform the instructor
at least
two weeks prior to the
missed exam. An essay exam (worth 50 points) will substitute for the missed exam. This exam must be taken
before
the scheduled exam date.
If a student is sick or experiences unforeseen circumstances where an exam
must be missed, the instructor must be informed immediately and proper documentation must be
presented
(e.g., doctor’s note, police accident report). An essay exam will take the place of the missed exam and
must be taken within one week of the missed exam. If the student does not notify the instructor before the next
class period, the student will receive a “0” for the missed exam. Students involved in college activities (e.g.,
athletics) that require them to miss an exam will take a make-up which is the same format as typical exams
(multiple choice and short answer). Proper documentation from a coach or faculty supervisor is required to avoid
the essay exam.
