Attendance Attendance WILL be taken. While attendance is not mandatory, you should make every effort to attend all classes. In order to perform well in the class, attendance needs to be a priority. Absence, no matter the reason, does NOT excuse being unprepared for labs, exams, assignments, etc., etc. If you come into class after attendance has been taken, you need to tell me – at the end of that class period – so I can change your absence into a tardy. Please prepare yourself to remain in the classroom during the entire class meeting. Students who constantly get up and wander in and out of the room during class are disruptive to the other students. If you do need to leave the room, please do so quietly. YOU are responsible for all material missed, including all announcements and assignments made in class, on days you are absent. It is your responsibility to obtain notes from a fellow student when you are absent. Office hours are not meant for individual lectures due to absences. I have little sympathy for those students who have problems when they do not come to class regularly. Students typically do not do well when they have poor attendance. 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.). Students are NOT to conduct business (personal or otherwise) during class time. Taking phone calls during class time is disruptive to the other students in the class. Any student behavior deemed disruptive by the professor will result in expulsion of the student from the classroom, with an absence for the day and possible disciplinary action.
Homework: Labs and Research Projects You will receive homework assignments during the semester which are to be completed outside of class time. ALL HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS ARE TO BE TURNED IN ON TIME. Lab assignments and research projects will NOT be accepted late - no matter the reason. I do not want you to miss class to finish an assignment. Therefore, all assignments will be due PRECISELY at the beginning of class on the announced due dates. Be sure you're not tardy on the due dates. If you find you must be absent on the day an assignment is due, send your assignment with another student, put it in my mailbox (room BG319), slide it under my office door - stapled (room BG310-C), or bring it to me BEFORE it is due. Absence - no matter the reason - does not excuse late homework.
Exams Alternate exam schedules will be arranged only when the absence from the exam is cleared with me WELL IN ADVANCE. The only acceptable excuse for missing one of the major exams (without prior approval) is illness; however, other excuses will be considered. When a major exam is missed because of illness, a doctor's excuse must be provided in order to make up the exam (no photocopies of doctor's excuses will be accepted). Only one (1) major exam can be made up per semester. It is to your advantage to take all exams on time.
Course Performance/Grades Grades are not “given,” they are earned. I am more than happy to meet with any student to discuss their course performance or grades. If you ever have any questions or concerns about a grade you earn on an exam or homework, please feel free to consult with me.
Plagiarism Copying will NOT be tolerated. Each student is expected to do his/her own outside assignments, and to ensure that NO ONE uses his/her work. Getting "help" from another student (including lab workers) IS plagiarism. The penalty for plagiarism is a grade of zero for ALL students involved. The more you rely on someone else to "help" you with your assignments, the less you are learning! You are doing yourself a terrible disservice when you let someone do your homework for you. I will be more than happy to assist you when you run up against a "brick wall." NEVER hesitate to ask me for help.
University Policies All current JSU policies will apply. You are responsible for being aware of and abiding by these policies, including the Academic Honesty Policy in the current JSU Student Handbook.
