Catalog Policy on Religious Observance. Attendance: Attendance is strongly advised at the lecture since questions on the exams will come from lecture material and documentaries. Campus Senate policy requires students who are absent due to illness/injury to furnish documentary support to the instructor. I require students to contact me by email or prior to class time in which you indicate that you have an illness or an injury. You must provide written documentation verifying your illness/injury immediately upon your return to class. You will not be allowed to turn in missed assignments or make up quizzes, tests, papers, etc. if you have not provided this documentation. Documentation not presented to me in a timely manner will not be accepted. In addition, if it is found that you have falsified the documentation provided, I will refer you to the University’s Student Conduct Office. Attendance at discussion sections is mandatory. You are expected to take an active part in all class exercises. For the purposes of this course, attendance means arrive to discussion at the proper time, participate when asked, and not leave until class is dismissed. The philosophy of this course is based on interactive learning, so be prepared to participate, learn, and think. College sponsored events: If you must miss class for a college sponsored event, please furnish written documentation of the event. Grading: There will be three exams, and assignments relating to your discussion sections. You are bound by the Honor Code for all assignments and exams. Each exam is worth 25 % of your final grade and your discussion section is worth 25 % of your final grade. First letter grades will be broken down in the following way: 96 – 100 A+ 92 – 95 A 90 – 91 A- 88 – 89 B+ 82 – 87 B 80 – 81 B- 78 – 79 C+ 72 – 77 C 70 – 71 C- 60 – 69 D Less than 60 F
