I will not take off points for missing class discussions, but you do so at your own risk. Keep in mind that even without marking attendance there is a statistically significant correlation between those who miss class and those who receive grades of D and F. Additionally, since some in-class exercises cannot be made up, it would behoove you to make sure you are in class when those exercises take place. Academic Honesty Cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. If you are caught cheating or plagiarizing in any form, you will receive a failing grade for the course and you will be reported to the university for appropriate action. It is the responsibility of each student to know and follow all of the written guidance given by the instructor in this syllabus and any other handouts you receive during the semester.
Students are also responsible for all orally delivered guidance and materials.
While I do make extra copies of all syllabi and handouts, I cannot guarantee that I will have copies of these materials if you lose them. Thus I encourage you to keep materials organized and exchange contact information with others in the course in case you need to photocopy materials in emergency situations. Office Hours I will be available for student consultation during the hours listed at the top of this syllabus and by appointment. Please feel free to discuss course materials with me at any of these times. If you are having any trouble with the materials I encourage you to see me as soon as possible.
