Late arrivals and early departures detract from one's class participation and are distracting to others. Please be considerate of your fellow students. Students should keep up with their reading, as well as take notice of the data and exercises introduced in class. Student participation in class discussion by asking questions, sharing views and opinions, making suggestions, etc. is strongly encouraged. It should contain references to the sources and include a short bibliography.
All tests are multiple choice.
Tests have to be taken at their scheduled times. Students with learning disabilities who want to take exams at the Disabilities Support Service Office must provide me with a copy of the Faculty Contact Sheet available from Disability Support Services by the end of the second week of the semester and with the Test Form no later than five working days before the exam. All tests are based on class lectures and assignments and will include identifications of meanings, terms, concepts, etc. George Mason University participates in an honor system which has existed in Virginia since 1842. The GMU Honor Code, to which you have agreed to conform with your application for admission to the university, provides that a student's word is a declaration of good faith acceptable as truth in all academic matters.
