This practice has many benefits. First, there is no editor like the human ear. Second, it's nice to know how other students respond to similar assignments. All papers must be completed in order to pass the course. The following table indicates the nature of each assignment, its percentage of the student's overall grade, and marks the due date.
Attendance is required for all sessions.
As you can see, excessive absences can quickly cut into your g.p.a. In cases when absences are unavoidable and justified, please let me know in advance when possible. As for student conduct, I expect each student to conduct him- or herself in a manner that is appropriate to the classroom. Harbrace College Handbook, 12th ed.
