Progress in this class will depend on regular study of information learned in class as well as through outside preparation. Regular attendance is expected. Any student's absence from class or lack of appropriate effort may become a burden to other students. Attendance and appropriate cooperation are expected.
Absence from more than 25% of classes will result automatically in a grade of F. See college catalog for complete policy.
Work is due at specified times. Late work will not be accepted.
Any arrangements to miss a class must be made ahead of
time. (Voice mail messages left as class is beginning will not be considered
ahead of time.) Your instructor is willing to negotiate, but she is not
tolerant of irresponsibility.
