You can find guidelines for the reading journal below. Be sure to read them carefully. Attendance and participation are required of all students. Illness and university-sponsored business are the only legitimate reasons for missing class. Illness must be documented with a doctor's certificate.
Late arrivals disrupt class, so please be on time.
Persistent tardiness will also lower your grade. As a rule, I do not accept late assignments. Late work will be accepted only in the case of a documented illness or an official university absence. In the case of the latter, students should make arrangements with me in advance of the absence. Reading journals should be turned in at the beginning of the class meeting when they are due.
