Course Policies
1. Special situations (school events, personal crises, etc.)
should be brought to my attention as soon as possible. You are responsible for all material given and asignments made in class.
2. If a student misses an exam, arrangements for the makeup exam should
be made within 1 week. It is the student's responsibility to request
a make-up exam. The absence must be legitimate (doctor's excuse, etc.)
Written excuses are required. Only two make-up exams are allowed. All others must be taken on time.
Exams not taken will result in a zero. No make-up will be given on any
missed pop test.
3. All homework assignments are to be turned in at the beginning of
class on the due date. 5 points will be deducted for each day late for 10 point assignments and
10 points will be deducted for assignments worth more than 10 points when late. If you know that you will be out, you may turn in your assignments early. No credit for just sending an electronic copy.
4. Students will be working together in the lab portion of the class;
however, students are expected to complete their homework assignments
on their own. A grade of ZERO will be given for
ALL involved in copying homework assignments.
5. All students are expected to attend class fully prepared with appropriate materials and all devices which make noise turned to the off position (e.g., cellular phones, pagers, personal stereos, etc.).
No electronic equipment may be used during exams.
No tobacco related products in class.
