According to College policy, more than 5 absences will result in a failing grade for the course. There will be occasional unannounced quizzes that cannot be made up. It is your responsibility to contact another student, find out what we did in class, and make sure you understand the assignment for the next class. If you have a serious problem that prevents you from coming to class or completing an assignment, such as an illness or personal emergency, talk to me before the assignment is due and we will work out a way for you to make up the work. Incompletes for the course are given only in the event of serious illness that prevents a student from completing the course work.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class, or by the deadline indicated on the assignment.
If you hand something in late, your grade will be lowered. If you do not hand in all the assignments, you will not pass the course. Over the semester, there will be opportunities for extra credit. It is your responsibility to be aware of and abide by the rules governing plagiarism, cheating, and academic dishonesty. Any instance of plagiarism, cheating, or academic dishonesty will be turned over to the administration and dealt with in the strictest manner.
