Fall 2016 Course Syllabi

COURSE POLICIES:

Missed Classes:

Attendance is required. Unannounced quizzes, tests, and class projects can be

made-up only when the instructor excuses students prior to class. You are responsible for the

activities of each class period. If you know of a conflict ahead of time, you are welcome to

submit assignments early. Recognizing the importance of student participation and interaction

with classmates, excessive absences necessitate failure in the class.

Assignments:

All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the date due unless specified

prior. Late assignments receive one-half credit minus errors. All late assignments are due before

the final examination is administered. Make sure the class name, your name, date due, and

exercise number appears in the upper-right corner. If handing in multiple pages, sequence them

according to the order in the exercise, and staple in the upper left corner.

Electronic Devices:

NO TEXTING

during class,

prior permission for computer use is required. I will have my cell phone on for campus

emergency notifications. Basically, do not be rude to other students trying to learn.
