CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION:
Class will be primarily interactive lectures based on the assigned readings and projected images.  Occasionally we will be viewing video tapes.  Homework is primarily reading from the textbooks; However, from time to time you might asked to go to the library or to an internet site and read an article or a text I have placed on reserve or to use the internet.   Part of your grade will be based on class participation and attendance.

A tentative calendar/schedule is provided on the website; however, there will be times when the schedule will need to be adjusted.

Attendance is mandatory and attendance will be taken.

Every absence lowers  your class participation grade 3%.

Please note that this is significant because it comprises 30% of your over all grade.

If you miss 4 classes consecutively you will either fail or be dropped from the class.

A lateness is worth a half absence but I lock the doors after the first week once I begin lecturing.  Please do not knock or attempt to come in.

You will be responsible for writing some short essay answers and or several work sheets. All your work will be your own.

Late Work

Late work will not be accepted.

If you are late to class it is late and will not be accepted.

EXAMINATIONS & QUIZZES:

There will be several pop quizzes based on the readings.

Notes and textbooks may be used during take home examinations.

Notes and textbooks may not be used during the final examination.

Missed quizzes, classes, and exams will be calculated as zeros.

MAKE UP EXAMS AND GRADE IMPROVEMENT:
Make up exams are only available in one of two instances: to those students who have made provisions to take the exams in advance of the test date or if a student has a signed medical excuse.  In general a makeup exam will be different than the original exam and will take the same amount of time to complete as the original.  Extra credit will be given, however, it will not replace or have as much weight as the normal assignments turned in on time.
