In turn, the class will be expected to participate in these discussions as if the instructor led them. All homework is due as assigned and will not be accepted late. Each student may miss 4 classes without penalty. The fifth absence will result in a one-letter reduction of your final grade. Upon the sixth absence the student will be asked to withdraw or will fail the class.
Classes begin promptly at the appointed time.
Latecomers are disruptive and not conducive to a positive learning experience. Once the roll has been taken and the door to the classroom is closed, you will be considered late. Please let me know as soon as possible of any family emergency that requires your presence. In case of extended excused absences, I may , at my discretion , make arrangements with you to complete missed work. However, if you fall behind substantially, I will ask you to withdraw from the course and you will receive a grade of W for the class.
