The attitudes and mental strategies which students must exhibit during this semester are a basic part of the content of this course, and each student's performance will be evaluated accordingly. I cannot make you come to class. I cannot make you want to be here on time. But I can simulate for you that there are real world consequences that result from our actions, especially those that are habitual. Please know that I expect you to do well on this objective and in this course.
Students are responsible for making up all missed coursework.
The summaries are always due one week following your return to class. These reports will count as a portion of your writing assignment grade, and I perhaps should warn you that since you are responsible for keeping up with your assignments, that I will not be giving you repeated reminders about this assignment. To assist you with you motivation to get the reading done, you will be assigned specific chapters to read each week, beginning with the second week of class. The final paper is due in my office by five P.M. on Friday of the twelfth week of class. Various thinking and writing assignments will be made throughout the semester.
