The factors I will take into consideration in assigning a grade in borderline cases include attendance, quality of class participation, and whether assignments have been turned in on time. A grade of incomplete is not an option except in extremely rare circumstances, and must be approved by the instructor. Here is more information on the incomplete grades policy . Here is more information on withdrawing . If at all possible, discuss these situations with me prior to missing the exam.
Assignments are due at the beginning of the class period on the due date.
Late assignments should be placed in an envelope or folder and placed under my office door. Attendance and preparation for class are expected. You are responsible for all class content and announcements whether you are present or not. It is important that you complete reading assignments before coming to class because lectures, discussions, and activities assume you are already familiar with the material. I may give unannounced pop quizzes if I feel students are not completing the readings prior to coming to class.
