You are expected to demonstrate respect for your peers and your instructor when participating in class. As a class we will decide what it means to demonstrate respect and what is needed to foster a sense of community. You are on the honor system. You are expected to complete assignments on time. Due dates are specified on the course outline.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class.
Be sure that you complete your work before coming to class. For an absence to be considered excused the student must contact me before class and request that the absence be excused. Leaving a message with the secretary or on my voice mail is an acceptable method of requesting that an absence be excused. Basically you have 2 personal days. This means that I do not judge whether your absence should be considered excused except as previously specified.
