If you have special needs of any
kind (including, but not limited to disabilities,
absences due to participation in sports or other
activities, etc.) please contact me as soon asthe need is known to you and I will try to
accommodate them as much as possible.
Attendance:
Although I expect students to attend
all class meetings, I will not be taking
attendance. If you miss a class meeting, you are
responsible for making up the lost material. If
you have a valid reason for missing a class, let
me know early and I will try to help you make
up the class. (See above.)
Make-up classes:
I may have to reschedule a
few classes due to my other professional
commitments. I will make every attempt to
minimize the number of such occurrences and
to reschedule for a time that works for most
students. Further, I will make sure no student is
penalized by such occurrences.
Due dates:
All due dates are strict, as announced
in class. If you believe your work was delayed by
truly exceptional circumstances, let me know assoon as those circumstances are known to you
and I will try to make a fair allowance. However,
the default is that you get a zero if you don’t
turn in the work on time.
Academic honesty:
I expect
you to hold yourselves to the highest standards
of academic honesty. Please take this point very
seriously. If you are not sure if something is
permitted, check with me. All help you receive,
even if permitted, must be prominently noted
in all work you submit. Plagiarism and other
forms of cheating will result in very stiff penalties (including, but not limited to, an F grade in the
course and further disciplinary action from the
university).
