Policy on Attendance

Since regular attendance is absolutely necessary for the successful completion of this course, the following rules will be strictly enforced.

Although I may drop you for non-attendance, do not count on it if you decide to withdraw from class. Sometimes, particularly toward the end of the semester, I do not have time to drop students. Therefore, it is your responsibility to formally drop the course should you be forced to withdraw. However, I cannot drop you for non-attendance after April 8.

Policy on Papers and Assignments

A. All major assignments must be completed for you to get a passing grade in this course.

B. Quizzes worth fewer than 11 points cannot be made up for any reason.

C. You are responsible for knowing what the assignments are when you miss class.

Plagiarism

A student who knowingly or through ignorance of the rules of citation, submits for evaluation the work of others disguised as his own has committed an act of plagiarism. If a student plagiarizes, he will receive a "0" for the submitted work, and this act of dishonesty may warrant the total loss of credit for the course. See the "Policy on Plagiarism" if you do not understand what plagiarism is.

Requirements

You will be required to take three regular tests, a final test, a number of quizzes, and write two, 5-page, researched papers.

Grades Tests will be worth 100 points, quizzes 10 points, and the researched papers 100 points each.

Disability: If you have a disability, I will be happy to help you in any way I can to facilitate your success in this course. However, it is your decision to discuss your disability with me. I can best assist you if you discuss your disability with me early in the semester. Any information you share with me will remain private and confidential. Please consult the Counseling Center for more detailed information about assistance the college can provide you.
