Projects, exams, presentations and research papers will be weighted more heavily than homework, quizzes, and daily work. Grades will be updated frequently and posted on the web as well as in class. Possibilities for extra credit will occasionally be available throughout the semester. Attendance is required at all class meetings unless otherwise excused by the instructor or for illness. Students are expected to make arrangements ahead of time if conflicts arise.
Students are responsible for all missed work and assignments.
In order to make this class successful, extensive class participation and effort will be required from all students. A large portion of grading criteria will emphasize student participation and effort. Students will be expected to work well individually, in small groups and as a whole class. Students are expected to complete all assignments on time and to come to class prepared, having the right materials and having done the required reading. It is your responsibility to keep track of your assignments, due dates and the grades you received on them.
