Course Policies:

Students are responsible for reading each section before it is taught in class.
Some homework will be graded.
Students may work together on homework, but each individual student is required to write-up and turn in their
own work.
Late homework will not be accepted. Homework is constituted as late if it is received ten minutes after class
has begun. If homework is turned in, and the student leaves before the end of class, the assignment will not be
graded. The exception to this rule is if the instructor is informed in advance of the need to leave class early.
Quizzes and projects are given at the discretion of the instructor and frequently reflect material that has
recently been discussed in class.
To further encouraging regular attendance instructors need not give makeup quizzes.
Graded work will be brought to class exactly one time. After that the student may come to the instructor’s
office to pick up the work.
Students need to be punctual. Attendance will be taken daily and will be included in the student’s grade. If the
student signs in and leaves before the end of class, then the student is considered absent. The exception to this
rule is if the instructor is informed in advance of the need to leave class early.
Courtesy in Class:
Cell phones, beepers, and alarmed watches: If one interrupts the class, then the student will be directed to
leave the room.
Disruptive behavior: If any student regularly disrupts the class through side conversation or unacceptable
behavior, then the student will be directed to leave the classroom.
