Roll will be called at the beginning of each scheduled class, and absences and tardies will be recorded. Students who do not return to class after break will be marked absent. In order to be fair to students who turn their assignments in on time, late work will be penalized by lowering the grade. Assignments late by more than one week will not be accepted. Absences do not give students automatic extensions to turn in work at a later time.
Work needs to be turned in on time whether a student is in class or absent.
It is an expectation of this class that you be online, meaning regular access to your own e-mail account. Please bring your e-mail address with you to the first class meeting. We will be exploring and evaluating online discussion groups and resources on the Internet which enrich the study of children's literature and materials and which foster networking with other students and practicing professionals working with children and early children's materials.
