Once a student has selected a subsequent catalog, they may not revert to an earlier catalog. If you do not have the time necessary to devote to this class, please drop it and take it at a later date. If you must be absent, the instructor assumes that you have obtained notes from a classmate. Any student having difficulty with the material should make an appointment to see the instructor. As an instructor, I enjoy a class that is interested in the subject and participates in discussions.
Participation is both welcome and encouraged.
However, private conversations between students and not directed toward the class tend to be disruptive and annoying to the instructor and to students who are trying to learn. If you disrupt the class you will be dismissed from class until your behavior is under control. This syllabus provides a general plan for the course. Deviations may be necessary.
