Such exigencies are why I give you a schedule of assignments and due dates. If you are ill, you should contact me so that I can give you any additional assignments or changes in the schedule. If you know that you will miss a class in advance, please try to make some arrangements to turn in your work on time and to pick up any new assignments. More than five absences may result in a failing course grade. If a student is asked to leave class, either because of a disruption or because of incomplete work, he or she will be counted absent.
Participation is particularly important in a communication class.
I encourage intelligent discussion during class-time and require thoughtful questions of all students. Please feel free to ask questions during lectures, or if you want me to address an individual concern, you may want to ask me before class or directly after class. Email is absolutely the best method of getting in touch with me. Grading Grades are determined by a point system. You can easily determine your percentage in the course by adding up your earned points and dividing them by the possible points at that time.
