Active participation . For what level of work generally constitutes a grade of A, B, C, D or F see the university catalogue. Active classroom participation is expected of each student. Students will be expected to brief cases and answer case problems at home for presentation in class. In general violations of the policy will cause a grade of F to be awarded for the assignment.
More flagrant violations can, however, call for punishments of a stricter nature to be exacted.
It is impossible to do well in this course just by reading the text. Also, with small class sizes when there are a significant numbers of absences other students are penalized due to a lack of active student participation. Two missed classes will not be penalized but beyond that one point will be subtracted from the final grade for each additional class missed without alternative arrangements made in advance with the professor. Never hesitate to come to class even if late or unprepared. Upon return to class proof of the excuse must be given immediately.
