to a disability, please make an appointment to meet with me at a
mutually agreeable time. You may also wish to contact the Office
of Disability Services at 581-6583.
- Late Assignments: Course assignments are due on the date
designated in class, at the beginning of the class session. Be
prepared to submit your papers when they are requested. Computer
problems will not be accepted as a valid excuse. In addition,
papers handed in after class, or during class to my mailbox will receive
no credit. No
late work will be accepted,
except in the case of officially excused absences. Formal documentation will be
required
- Readings: The chapters are assigned. It will help you a great deal
if you read the text, in advance if possible. Often, many of the
questions you find on the quizzes are over material covered in the
assigned readings. In class I may have covered the same material
in a different way or I may have stressed some concepts over
other. You are responsible for the information found in the assigned
readings/chapters.
- Academic Integrity: A violation of the university policy on
academics in any shape manner, or form will result in a hearing before
the Judicial Review Board. This pertains to attendance, quizzes,
tests, assignments or any material pertaining to this course.
