Odds and Ends I strongly encourage students to take advantage of my office hours. If my regularly scheduled office hours are inconvenient for you, please contact me by phone or email to schedule an appointment. I will issue an incomplete grade only in the case of medical emergency or personal tragedy. Academic hardship does not qualify as an appropriate excuse. I reserve the right to determine which excuses are sufficient and which are not.
Irrefutable documentation is required for the granting of an incomplete.
I will give a presentation, in class, on CD-ROM, for each topic. In addition to that presentation, you may make use of the video presentations, lectures, group activities, and course newsgroup discussions to gather information and form opinions for the papers. You have freedom within disciplined boundaries. Utilize that freedom and beware of the boundaries.
