In the event of an absence, it is the student's responsibility to call WBU and the instructor. Absences will affect your grade as lectures, class exercises, guest speakers and other activities cannot be replicated. This class requires active class participation which allows the theory from the text to marry the real-life experiences of each student and instructor. Fully twenty percent of the total grade will be based on your participation in class. Students are strongly encouraged to participate actively in all classes.
Homework is due at the beginning of each class.
Late homework will result in a lower grade. Grammar as well as content and organization of content will be a part of the grading criteria of each written and oral assignment. Punctuation will also be a part of the grading process in all written assignments. All written assignments must be word processed and double-spaced utilizing the APA requirements. Questions about an assigned grade must be resolved within a week after the assignment is returned to the student.
