Many students have work or class schedules that preclude attendance at these meetings. This will in no way harm your grade in this course. Much of the material covered in class is not in the textbook. It is the student's responsibility to check with other students to get lecture notes and assignments for any classes missed. The student is responsible to turn in assignments on the assigned dates.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the date assigned.
Students are strongly encouraged to ask questions, to make relevant comments, and take an active role in the class. It is the instructor's goal to maximize the educational experience of this course for all students. Students requiring accommodations for note taking, presentations, or other course requirements, due to a disability, should inform the instructor as soon as possible. It is expected at all times that all work turned in by the student is the result of his or her own efforts. The minimum penalty for stealing the work of another, in any form, will be a grade of zero on the assignment.
