Therefore it is your prepared attendance which is a valuable part of this course. Incompletes are given only in emergencies and only when there is a minor amount of the course left to complete. The second offence will deserve a more public hearing by the Division Chair and Ombud. If you miss a class or any specified deadline, you MUST contact me in advance, but if you wish to receive credit for a scheduled assignment, you must first negotiate with me to find an acceptable compromise deadline. You will not be allowed to make up for a responsibility you have in this class unless you have communicated with me and made alternative arrangements before the deadline.

One of the mechanisms of oppression is that we are all systematically taught misinformation about our own groups and about members of both dominant and subordinate groups. We will not blame ourselves or others for the misinformation we have learned in the past, but accept responsibility for not repeating misinformation after we have learned otherwise. We will not blame victims for their oppression. We will actively pursue information about our own groups and those of others. We will actively combat the myths and stereotypes about our own groups and other groups so that we can break down the walls that prohibit group cooperation and group gain.
