A portion of your class grade is dependent on participating in discussion, which will be difficult to do without doing the readings prior to class . I reserve the right to quiz you on text readings if I feel the reading assignments are not being done . I will deduct five points for every class meeting missed or left early. Being late three times will be considered an absence. Make-up work is strongly discouraged and will only be granted in special circumstances.
All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the day they are due.
Missing deadline will result in five points being deducted. No assignment will be accepted more than a week after the due date. Make-up exams will only be allowed in special circumstances. There will be no extra credit opportunities . Your writing will be graded on content as well as form.
