Participation means attending class, being prepared, and contributing constructively and respectfully to in-class discussions. If you miss class for any reason, you still are expected to come to the next class fully prepared. It is your responsibility to get any in-class assignment from another student or me. Unless I specify group work, all work must be done individually and without assistance. Those submitting work done by someone else will be sent through University procedures dealing with academic dishonesty .
Ignorance is no excuse.
In class we will review how to document sources correctly, but it is your responsibility to educate yourself about university policies. Review your student handbook. Any individual who qualifies for reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 should contact the instructor immediately. Take care of yourself . Your grade for this class is your responsibility.
