Students will also understand how to utilize these new ideologies and tools to their benefit, as well as the benefit of the world and society as a whole as emerging leaders. Classroom Policies: Absences and Assignment Due Dates: If a student must miss class, he/she must contact the instructor within 24 hours of the class period to make up any missed work. Late assignments will be docked 10% per day late. This is the policy for all assignments in all circumstances. If you email me an assignment, you will get a reply from me to verify that I have received the assignment. If you do not get a receipt from me, I did not get the assignment. It is your job to ensure that I have received the assignment, so if you do not get a response from me within 24 hours of submitting your assignment by email, you need to resend the email. The assignment continues to lose 10% per day during this time. Attendance and participation is expected. Ten percent of your grade is based solely on attendance and participation. 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. If you miss an exam you must contact me within 24 hours of the missed exam to arrange for a time to make up the exam. Exams must be made up within 72 hours of the original exam time. If you do not contact me within 24 hours a grade of 0 will be entered for the exam that was missed. Students are only allowed to make up ONE exam per course. The exam grade will be docked 10% per day for late points. Electronic Devices: Silence cellular phones, pagers, CD players, radios, and similar devices in the classroom and laboratory facilities. Reasonable laptop-size computers may be used in lecture for taking notes. If this is an IVN course, cell phone must be turned off at all times in class!
