It is particularly important that students come to class prepared to participate and share in discussions and activities. Participation in class discussions is one of the course requirements. Students are required to attend class, discuss the readings, prepare assignments, and make oral presentations. Late assignments will be reduced one grade without a confirmed valid excuse presented to me. Students will be allowed to revise up to two assignments for an improved grade and an increased experience with revision and rewriting.
Revisions are due to the instructor two-weeks from when the assignment is returned to the student.
Students are required to keep all work until the end of the semester. Students must submit their own work. Disciplinary action will be taken for dishonesty, plagiarizing, copying or cheating. Since participation is an integral part of this class, attendance is required. Students in the class have the responsibility to challenge themselves and others by sharing ideas and helping each other grow intellectually.
