for a meeting, so please contact me if you are having difficulty at
the earliest stage possible. |

| Attendance policy: students will never be failed or withdrawn for missing
a certain number of classes, and no points are given for simply showing up. Unless otherwise
specified, graded assignments
are not accepted late, so missing too many classes will usually result in
failing. |
| A Withdrawal (“W” grade) must be initiated by YOU
with appropriate paperwork BEFORE the date identified, above. If you
simply stop coming to class, you will get an "F." See
Notice to Students on Attendance and Grades.
|
| You should plan for about two hours of work outside of class for each
hour of instruction. Feel free to work with other students outside of
class. |
| See my FAQ on Homework for details |
| Cell phone use during class is considered rude: please leave class to
answer a call or to do any texting. If you are using your phone during
class you may be asked to leave for the rest of the class: cell phone use
includes using it as a calculator or a clock during class. |
| Cell phone use during an exam is considered an example of academic
dishonesty and may result in a failing grade. |
| Academic dishonesty may result in a failing grade for the class. |
