To promote regular attendance, more that four-unexcused lecture absences will be grounds for awarding a final grade of F for the course. In order for an absence to be considered as excused, you are to submit to me a written statement describing the particulars within one week of the absence. If the particulars warrant the designation, I will mark the absence as excused. You are asked not to interfere with your colleague s class participation. Harassment of colleagues in any form or degree will not be tolerated and is grounds for punitive action.
Homework assignments are to be handed in at the beginning of the due date lecture period.
Late papers will be accepted only when the delay is related to an excused absence. Discussion assignments are to be handed in at the end of the period in which the assignment was given. These levels are subject to review at the end of the semester and can be lowered to reflect true class performance. Students requiring special delivery or testing considerations should notify the instructor of their situation. This must be done in a timely manner.
