Attendance
Students are expected to attend all classes. If a class is missed, students are expected to communicate the reason for their absence as soon as possible to the instructor via email. Two points will be awarded for each class attended, one point for each acknowledged absence, and no points for an unacknowledged absence. There is no distinction between an excused and an unexcused absence.
Coverage
We will cover chapters 12,13, 14 & 15. There are 33 sections in these four chapters and approximately 50 class meetings. So, the pace of the course will be roughly two sections of material for every three class meetings.
Assignments
There will be a homework assignment given at the end of each class which is due at the beginning of the following class. Homework will be graded on a scale of 0 to 10 for completeness and timeliness, but not for correctness. After two class grace period, one point off for each class late. Absolute deadline for chapter homework is the day of the exam. Please adhere to the following guidelines. One point off for each violation.
Use pencils and not pens.
Use 8.5” by 11.0” paper.
Be sure the paper has a straight edge.
Write your name and the assignment number at the top of the first paper.
Staple all papers together with one staple in the upper left hand corner.
However, if two or more assignments are submitted at the same time, staple each assignment separately.
