Students are expected, at minimum, to conduct themselves in accordance with commonly accepted standards. It is my duty as an instructor to let you know what is required and expected of you as you take this class. I have assembled this syllabus in an attempt to accomplish that task. I consider this syllabus to be a contract which explains and defines the policies and procedures of this course. As with most contracts, this syllabus may be changed upon proper notification to the class.
Proper notification is defined as five working days notification.
I will not entertain appeals nor will I post the grade of anyone who has not returned a signed course contract on or before the first exam date. Every effort will be made to adhere to the above schedule, particularly with regard to the exam dates. However, should there arise a need to change the syllabus proper notification will be given to the class. This syllabus is designed to communicate to the student the policies and procedures of this course. These include the grading procedures, missed exams, exam policies, academic dishonesty, attendance and extra credit.
