2. Attendance and class participation are of great importance for portioning the students’
grade. A student cannot earn a full participation grade if she or he has three unexcused
absences. Six unexcused absences will result in failing the 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 their
equipment are to be turned off in the auditorium. Disruptive behavior will reduce the grade by 10%
