Students are responsible for all material. Excellent projects typically involve moving ahead of the class pace with respected to limited material and research outside of the scope of regular course work. I shall endeavor to grade fairly and indicate how grades are determined. However, there are intangibles and a degree of subjectivity in this process. As a Professor I am here to help guide your academic progress and provide advice and encouragement regarding your studies, your research, and also the balance in your life.
Balance is crucial for everyone.
I have an open door policy for students experiencing academic or external problems or who just need someone to talk to.
