Student Responsibilities:

Attendance is critical. Not all materials covered in the class will be in the textbook. This class is designed to be an interactive exchange between instructor and class participants. What you learn and are tested on will be based upon class discussions and class notes. Tests cannot be “made up” unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor on an emergency occurs. Late tests will receive an automatic deduction of 10% of test score while no punishment for early test. Students are expected to prepare for each class session by reading the assigned materials prior to the class in which they will be discussed. If anyone fells unable to achieve the desired grade for this class for any reason or reasons, be advised that the last day to drop from the class is November 21. Fail to drop may result an F in the final grade which will be on ACC record forever.
