I am committed to this task and desire to make this course the best at Macon State College. By signing up for this course you have accepted the responsibility of being an active learner and of participating in the classroom discussion. Most importantly, students are expected to be committed to learning the subject matter. If you are not open to new ideas, or are not committed, expect your grade to reflect this . Your continued enrollment in this course means that you accept these responsibilities and are aware of the guidelines set forth in the syllabus.
Grades are a carrot that encourage learning.
While I will not hesitate to give a poor grade when your performance indicates that you have not learned the material, I sincerely want to see everyone do well. Thus, I will do my best to help you understand the topics and to do well on the laboratory tasks, projects and exams. I realize that you have a busy schedule and often face difficulty in getting enough time to study. This makes it all the more important to get involved while you are here. We are going to have fun but expect to work.
