An apology is offered in advance to the majority of students for whom the following information may be unnecessary. Attendance is extremely important in weekend courses. Students who miss class invariably fail to master the course objectives and perform poorly on the final exam. Students have the responsibility to initiate and complete make-up work without additional prompting by the instructor. One letter grade is deducted for assignments turned in late out of respect for the majority of students who submit work on time.
Informal attire is permitted, but please dress in a manner appropriate for a university classroom.
No hats or caps are to be worn in the classroom and shoes are required. Coffee and other drinks may be consumed during class if local conventions permit, but no food is to be eaten in the classroom. All instructional content needed to master unit objectives are contained in the text and instructional units or will be provided by the instructor. However, some students may appreciate receiving supplemental information for further self-study. The several comprehensive Web sites that follow contain dozens of links to relevant assessment and evaluation materials.
