Missing class is
not an excuse for failure to understand material or complete assignments. Material covered in class will not be
covered again outside of class. It is up to you to read the material and get
notes from another student.
Assignments are
due at the beginning of the class on the due date. Absence from class is not an
excuse for failing to have the assignment in. Late assignments will be
penalized 10% per day (not per class session).
Assignments will not be accepted after one week beyond the due
date.
Make-up exams are
given only under extraordinary circumstances. Inform the instructor as soon as
possible (ideally before the exam). Some form of written excuse for absence
from an exam is required.
Cheating means to misrepresent the source, nature, or other conditions of your academic work (e.g., tests, papers, projects, assignments) so as to get undeserved credit. The use of the intellectual property of others without giving them appropriate credit is a serious academic offense. It is the University's policy that cheating or plagiarism result in receiving a failing grade for the work or course. Repeat offenses result in dismissal from the University.
Students with disabilities: In accordance with University policy, if you have a documented disability and require accommodations to obtain equal access in this course, please contact the instructor at the beginning of the semester or when given an assignment for which an accommodation is required. Students with disabilities must verify their eligibility through the Office of Student Disability Services (SDS) in the Michael Schwartz Service Center (672-3391).
