Attendance: Attendance is necessary to obtain a complete understanding of the course material. Excessive absences may result in withdrawal from the class, however you are ultimately responsible for withdrawing yourself from the class. See current catalog for last day to withdraw . No incomplete grades will be given. Please contact me if you have excessive absences and wish to remain in the class. Consult with me as the problem is occurring, not at the end of the semester. Please come to class promptly, late arrivals are distracting. Discussion of topics in class is encouraged, therefore keeping up with the reading is essential. I will assume you have read the required material before coming to class. You are responsible for information announced in class whether or not you are present when the announcement is made.

Course Requirements: Grades for the course will be determined by scores on three tests, grades on three papers, and class participation. Tests will be multiple choice, definition, and short answer. Questions will be based on both text books, lectures, videos shown in class, and class discussions. The short papers will be an essay (2-5 pages) based on topics handed out in class. IMPORTANT: Turn in your paper on time and with the proper documentation. Insufficient or missing bibliographic information will lower your grade drastically. No late papers will be accepted. Papers not turned in and tests not taken will result in the grade of 0. Participation requires class attendance, interest in the material, and contributions to class discussion. Attendance will be taken daily.
 
 

Make-up tests: If you miss an exam and want to make it up you must do so before the next class period. See me in advance, if possible, to schedule alternative testing dates. Tests not taken will result in the grade of 0.
