All in-class writing must be done in large blue books. They are available in the Loyola bookstore. Please buy 8-10 of them when you purchase your texts. Do not wait until the day of the in-class writing assignment to try to buy blue books because the bookstore does not open before class begins. The message does not excuse your absence, but, if you leave a phone number or e-mail address, I can get back to you to discuss making up some of the work.
Tardiness is rude, as well as being disruptive.
If you are late, I will deduct 5 points from your class participation grade. There will be a roll sheet that you will sign each day. It is your responsibility to sign it, and, if you are late, indicate that on the sheet. If you do not sign, you will be counted absent. I will also hold several individual conferences with each student during the course of the semester.
