Course Expectations - A list clearly outlining the instructor s expectations concerning missed exams, absenteeism, class preparation, class participation, assignment due dates, etc. Descriptions of projects, papers, exams, and all other assignments should contain clear, concise information about the format, length and any other specifications necessary for successful completion of assigned activities.

George Mason University Honor Code - A statement reminding students about their responsibility in maintaining the academic integrity of the learning process.
Faculty are responsible for selecting texts for single-section courses.
Such decisions will be made by the chair or other members of the local academic unit if new part-time faculty are hired too late to make the decision. Faculty may not earn profits from the sale of unpublished notes, manuscripts, or other materials which they require for classroom use. Faculty should review the Comprehensive Conflict of Interests Act which is available at the University Libraries. Faculty are obliged to make significant use of required texts. Those not planning to use optional materials should inform their students of this fact at the first class meeting.
