The instructor will be providing material supplementary to the text which the student should be able to assimilate with the text material. Major examinations will be short essay and students can expect to have around five major exams during the semester. Short unannounced quizzes may be given over assigned material. Makeup exams will be given only in the event of an excused absence as determined by the instructor. There will be additional homework assignments from time to time over selected areas of demography, however there will not be a formal term paper.
Attendance is mandatory for all students.
If a student has an excused absence, all makeup work should be completed as soon as possible after return to classes. Major exams will be worth 100 points and will be the weight of the student's grade. If a student feels that they have been awarded a grade that is in error, or that they wish to challenge, the appeals process begins with the instructor. If successful resolution is not achieved, the next level is the department chair, followed by the dean, vice-president of academic affairs, president of the university and finally, the board of trustees of the university.
