Ground rules
- Be on time.
- No one should assume that he/she may be absent from class. If a student is absent 6 times or more without any written proof of inevitable circumstances (e.g., doctor’s note), his/her grade will be dropped one grade (Aà A-).
- You will fail the course if you miss any of the three written exams, even if you have completed all of the assignments and received a full attendance score. However, a make-up exam may be taken within 48 hours from the time of the original exam if you have a legitimate excuse. (e.g., verified illness or University-sponsored event)
- The time of the final examination is fixed. No one will be allowed to take the final exam earlier or later than scheduled.
- Bring your textbook to class.
- No food, no gum, no cell phone, no chatting.
- Email your instructor ahead of time if you have to miss a class due to illness or for emergency reasons.
- Be familiar with new vocabulary before we start a new chapter. Vocabulary quizzes will be graded.
- Feel free to contact your instructor if you have any question.
- Check your UWM email everyday. Important information and reminders about this course will be sent via e-mail. E-mails will be sent to your UWM address.
