Much of the information presented in class may not be covered in the textbooks. That being said, you are all adults and it is ultimately your decision if you attend class or not. I will be passing around an attendance sheet for administrative purposes only. Also, I will not drop a student as a non-attender. If you want to withdraw from this class, you must see me first.
Academic honesty is required at all times.
The student is required to do his or her own work. I have the power to act within my own jurisdiction to determine the penalty for academic dishonesty. Also the case may be referred to the Department Chair and the Vice President of Academic Affairs. If you do not know how to do these things, it is your responsibility to contact me to learn about options offered through the Academic Assistance Center. Most of you will have to spend time outside of class preparing.
