Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class. Students who miss all or a significant part of a class period due to some circumstance beyond their control can request an excused absence. Excused absences are those that have been approved on a case by case basis by the professor. Students who arrive late should notify the professor at the end of that same class period that they were tardy. Otherwise, the absent mark given at the beginning of class will remain on the student s record.
All students are responsible for all announcements, handouts, assignments, lectures, readings, etc.
In accordance with Bluffton College s Honor System, the examinations will not be monitored and students will be asked to write and sign the Honor System pledge on each examination. Additionally, students are expected to do work original to this class and for each of the assignments. They are also to cite all material that is borrowed from other sources. Failure to do original work or to give credit to borrowed material constitutes plagiarism. Acknowledged violations of the Honor Code either during examinations or through plagiarism will result in a failing grade for the examination or assignment and will be reported to the Vice President and Dean of Student Affairs.
