· Each student is expected to study outside of class, and take an active role in lecture.
· Exams will cover assigned reading, lecture and assignments. Please be aware that I will not lecture on every piece of the text, but you are still responsible for knowing this material unless I tell you otherwise.
· Regular attendance and appropriate participation is required. Evidence of poor preparation, inappropriate behavior, frequent absences and tardiness, and missing participation opportunities will adversely affect your grade. An A in participation is required to receive an A in the class.
· As a courtesy to me and fellow students, please turn off your cell phone during classroom instruction, discussion, and exam time. Texting in class will negatively affect your grade. It may also result in the student being released from the classroom. Policy on late assignments: Late work will be accepted only once per quarter and at the discretion of the instructor. Late work must be clearly marked LATE and have due date, date submitted, and reason for being late clearly written on the assignment. Assignments not clearly and accurately labeled will receive no credit.
· Revising selected assignments for better scores is permitted. Revisions are due no later than one week from when work was returned to the class (generally, even if you were absent and did not get yours back). All revisions must be clearly labeled REWRITE, have the date submitted clearly written, and have all prior attempts attached.
· Academic honesty: Please review the policies of WVC regarding academic honesty in the WVC handbook. Any issues involving academic dishonesty will be handled according to these policies/procedures.
