Class participation is evaluated and included in the final grade. Attendance is a requirement of this course and only three unexcused absences will be permitted before points will be taken off the final grade. Unexcused absences cannot be used on test days and absence is not an excuse for missing classwork or homework assignments. Make-up work will be possible only in the event of excused absences. Homework in the laboratory manual with audio tapes, video tapes and CD-ROM will be assigned.
Instructors receive printouts of laboratory use with students names.
If you have a physical, psychological or learning disability that requires an accommodation, you must first register with the Office for Disability Support Services. Please arrange a meeting with the course instructor to discuss your needs and how to register for support services. The dates for the exams are indicated on the syllabus. Quiz dates are also indicated, but unannounced quizzes may also be given periodically. Additionally, shorter written assignments will help students improve their writing skills.
