In addition to being a university requirement, a great deal of material presented in class is not in the textbook. Therefore, if you miss class you will miss some very important information that will undoubtedly be included in the exams. Unexcused tardiness or early departures will be counted as an absence. If you must leave class early notify the instructor before class. Attendance will be taken for all classes.
Attendance is mandatory for all class presentations.
A campus based computer discussion group will be established for this class. This group will be used by the instructor to disseminate course information so it will be in your best interest to subscribe. There are many very good resources on the internet for college students that provide general information, such as how to study, test taking strategies and stress management. Other sources provide information specific to human factors and psychology in general. Therefore one should be aware of the sources and credibility of information obtained over the net.
