A point system is used to determined the student s grade for the course. Regular and punctual attendance at all sessions is expected. Since the course meets for a limited amount of days, students are asked to refrain from making other plans during the course times. Otherwise, the student may receive a deduction of points as is merited by the class periods missed. Tardiness will also merit a deduction in points, according to the amount of time missed.
All work is due on the date assigned.
Group presentations must be supported by the attendance of all participants, otherwise a make-up of equivalent value will be assigned. Late work is not accepted. If an emergency arises, the student must schedule a conference with the instructor to discuss the specifics of the need. As is appropriate for a professional graduate class, all work is expected to be typed, or word processed. The final examination, which may be handwritten, is the exception to this requirement.
