The actual inclass meeting time is short in college courses because it is expected that students can and will work independently outside of class in order to meet the course requirements. Evaluation in this course will be based on a point system. There will be examinations over the text readings, class lectures and other materials as assigned. You will prepare and deliver an informative speech. You are expected to participate in class.
Grades are a fact of life in our education system.
During the semester I am eager to discuss your progress in the course. Be aware that I do not bring my grade records to class. If you are an athlete and need a progress report I will not complete these during class time. I do not discuss individual grades during class time, it is not the appropriate context for such discussion. See me in my office.
