If you miss a quiz due to tardiness or absence, you will receive an automatic zero. Since quizzes will occur randomly throughout the semester, it is in the best interest of your grade for you to attend each and every discussion session. Questions may address material covered on and before the date of the quiz since you will be expected to be prepared for each discussion prior to the discussion itself. Questions may include material from the text, coursepack, lectures and discussion. You will have two papers due throughout the semester.
Papers are due at the very beginning of discussion on their due date.
If you do not turn in a paper on its due date, there will be a third of a grade drop for each day that it is late. If you will be absent on the day that a paper is due, you must still turn in your paper by the time that it is due for everyone else. You can leave papers in my mailbox in 3242 East Hall. If you will be dropping off a paper, please send me an email to let me know that you have done so. Specific guidelines for the papers will be distributed in discussion.
