Each student must also bring a pen and notebook to each class meeting. All essays will be written on the word processor, double spaced with one inch margins. Students are expected to read the assignments before coming to class and to be able to discuss the reading material in class. Quiz assignments will be given. No make-ups will be allowed for missed quizzes.
Students are responsible for regular and prompt class attendance.
Students are also responsible for all matters discussed in class, whether the students are in class or not. Students who must on occasion be absent should call the instructor and explain the absence. Students usually can follow the assignment handout for missed work but should also obtain class notes from another student. Students accumulating absences in excess of three may be dropped from the course. Students who miss three or more class sessions in a row without notifying the instructor will be dropped from the course for non-attendance.
