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.
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 as
soon 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 turnin 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 inall work you submit. Erring on the side of giving too much credit is far better than the alternative.
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).
