Any assignment turned in during that week but after the due date will lose one letter grade. Attendance is required at every exam. No make up exams will be given without my consent prior to the scheduled exam time. It is especially important to be on time for exams. They will include both essay sections and mapping or diagramming sections.
Most people find that they take the full time allotted.
It is your responsibility to come to class, to read and prepare assignments on time, and to keep up with the class. If you need clarification on assignments or lecture material, ask me for more information. Subjects covered early in the course will be used throughout the semester. If you should miss a class, it is your responsibility to get notes from classmates, not from me. I will be happy to discuss any questions you have after you have acquired the missed material.
