Course Policies

1. Attendance - the very nature of this class requires attendance. Inevitably, unforeseen emergencies arise that necessitate missing a scheduled class. In order to avoid penalizing any student who must, for some reason, be absent, the following policy exists:

Students are held responsible for information covered in the session missed. Notes should be obtained from fellow classmates, not the professor. Excessive absences (more than 3) will result in a course grade reduction. If your involvement in university-sponsored activities requires that you miss certain class period, then you must provide the professor with a written calendar of the days you will miss.

2. Plagiarism - all work should be the product of the student’s individual effort.

3. Written work - all daily work and major papers should be typed and conform to the UWGB writing policy guidelines. This is one mark of professionalism.

4. Extra credit - I do not assign and will not grade extra credit.

5. Late work - Major projects may be turned in late with a penalty of one letter grade per day. Daily assignments cannot be made up. You will receive a “ 0” for the day.

Grading Scale:

All grading will be done on a “0 - 100%” scale which translates into the following letter grades:

A: 92% +	C: 70 -78%
AB: 89 - 91%	D: 60 - 69%
B: 82 - 88%	F: Below 59%
BC: 79 -81%
