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. • Grades . Questions about test grades can be emailed to the instructor up to 10 days (including weekends) after the grade is posted; after this time grades are considered final. Questions regarding grades can be emailed to the instructor no sooner then 24-hours after the grade has been posted. Challenging the grade will result in a re-grade. Re-grades may result in a grade higher or lower than the original grade. • Canceled Class. If a weather-related event prevents the professor from getting to class, students will be responsible for completing an “assignment” over the scheduled reading.
