If you are ill for an extended period you should send me word and I will see that you receive the assignments so that you do not fall too far behind. Grades will be based on the total points that you accumulate during the term compared to the total possible. Sandals or other open foot ware are not permitted in the lab. Work turned in should not have the pages dog-eared, or perforations on the side, and where appropriate should be stapled before coming to class. Work turned in late will be docked 1 letter grade, but may not be turned in after I return the papers.
Assignments are due at the beginning of the class period.
If you have a diagnosed disability and need special accommodations, please notify the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs before or immediately after your first scheduled class meeting. After your disability has been verified, your instructor will work with you and the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs to insure that you have a fair opportunity to perform in the course. If the instructor has sufficient evidence to verify a violation of academic honesty , the student in question will be subject to receiving a failing grade on that assignment or a withdrawal - failing grade for the course. Therefore, it is imperative, not only that each student does their own work , but that they protect their work and do all within their power to keep others from using it. Reading cards are a way for you to record extra readings that you do in science for extra credit.
