Tardiness and Attendance
Three instances of tardiness (entering class late) will constitute one absence. Three absences will drop your final grade by one letter.
Email Address:
Having an email address is mandatory for this class. The college provides one free of charge and provides students with computer labs. I will periodically email you important notices, so be sure to check your email before coming to class.
Handouts:
Lecture handouts will be provided for you on CANVAS and can be printed to supplement your learning experience.
Cell Phones:
Please silence all cell phones before class. In cases of emergencies, you may answer your phone, but please leave the classroom to do so.
Texting and Outside Communication :
Texting and outside communication during class is prohibited.
Late Work:
Late work will not be accepted for any reason. If you cannot make it to the class in which the assignment is due, you must bring the assignment to me early or send it by someone else prior to or during the class.
Missing Exams:
If you are going to miss a test, I must be notified prior to the exam. If a lecture test is missed with a valid excuse, a point penalty may still be assessed depending on the individual situation. A make-up test should be scheduled within 24 hours. If a lecture test is missed without prior notification or a valid excuse, an automatic zero will be assigned.
Disruptive Behavior:
A student who engages in any behavior or language in the classroom that intentionally or unintentionally disrupts the learning process will be asked to leave the class and may be reported to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action.
