COURSE POLICIES

                                These policies apply to all my courses.
                                When you take one of my courses, I will assume
                                you have read and agreed to everything here.
 
 

FORMAT

Classroom work consists of lecture,
discussion, small group work (sometimes),
guest speakers, computer work, and video
presentations. As much as possible, we will
focus on discussion of readings, ideas, and
issues,  as a class, on b-boards, and in small
groups.

 RULES

*Students are expected to do extensive
reading, and to be prepared to discuss the
readings in class when they are due.

*Students are expected to attend class
regularly and on time. Since discussion and
group work are significant elements of the
course, your presence is required. Each
absence after four (each summer class
counts as two) will result in a major deduction
from your final grade (see individual syllabi).

*All assignments are due by class on the
day specified in the syllabus. Assignments
handed in late will be graded down one
grade for each class they are late. Do not
leave papers in my box without talking to
me first. Keep a copy of all papers.

*I prefer that you email your assignments as
attachments in Word or Rich Text (rtf)
format, though I will accept paper.

*All assignments are to be typed, double-
spaced, on standard 8 1/2 x 11 white paper.
Use staples only, in upper left corner.
Do not provide a cover sheet--just put name
in upper right corner.

*All written work should adhere to the
highest standards of good writing--correct
spelling and grammar, good organization,
neat presentation, and so forth. Poor
writing will be reflected in your grade.
Get help if you need it!

*All required assignments MUST be turned
in, even if late; failure to hand in an
assignment will result in a final grade of "F"

*No incompletes will be given!
