If you choose to contest a grade assigned, you must do so in writing according to the instructor s syllabus. This includes grades on assignments and tests as well as final course grades. Make-up exams will be arranged by individual instructors. Students must provide documentation for the absence in order to schedule make-up exams. As social workers, other helping people, and as citizens it is important that you be able to speak out to advocate for clients and to address issues.
Participation is also important for sharing and discussion of ideas in class.
However, the quality of participation is significant. Just talking is not effective participation. Sharing and debating ideas and offering solutions are important components of participation. Respect is an important component of participation. You may disagree with the opinions of other students and faculty but you must respect their contributions to class.
