English 280 requires class participation. Reading is an active process in which you will practice critical thinking, effective writing, listening, and speaking skills. Please be prepared when you come to class. All class participants are expected to exhibit respectful behavior to other students and to the instructor. Inappropriate or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated, nor will lewd or foul language.
Regular attendance is essential to achievement.
Students are expected to remain in class during the entire session with the exception of breaks. Students are not allowed to come and go during the class session. Leaving early and arriving late count as partial absences. A student who fails to attend the first meeting of this course without notifying the instructor may be dropped from the course. Absence from more than eight hours of class will be cause for the instructor to drop the student from the course.
