2. Attendance and class participation are of great importance and will be used to portion the students’ grade. The
promptness is appreciated and noted. A student can not earn a full participation grade if he has 8 unexcused
absences. More than eight unexcused absences will result in failing this course.
3. Academic honesty and behavior. Cheating in any form is a serious offence followed by serious consequences. It
will not be tolerated and the result is the failure in this course. All the work students do for this course is expected to
be their own. Classroom conduct is to be professional, courteous and supportive. All cell phones and other
equipment are to be turned off in the auditorium. Disruptive behavior will reduce the grade by 10 % (Component 2).
