Keep original graded copies of all work until
you have received and are satisfied with
your final grade.
Please note that no late work will be
accepted, and if you fail to appear for any
quizzes, exams or special projects, and do not
have a valid excuse for your absence, you will
receive 0% on the component in question.
Incompletes will not be given under any
circumstances.
Attendance to all class sessions
–in their entirety– is mandatory. Excessive
unexcused absences (missing more than 3 class
hours without justification) will be penalized:
each unexcused absence over three will result in
the loss of two points from your final grade. So,
if at semester’s end you have an 83 average but
skipped six classes, then your final grade will be
77, a C+, not a B. To find out if your excuse to
miss class is valid, contact your instructor
before missing class.
Illness Due to Flu
The H1N1 Flu Pandemic may impact classes this
semester. If any of us develop flu-like symptoms,
we are being advised to stay home until the fever
has subsided for 24 hours. So, if you exhibit
such symptoms, please do not come to class. Notify
your instructor via
e-mail of your status, and you will
communicate through that medium as established for
the class.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
have posted simple methods to avoid transmission
of illness. These include: covering your mouth
and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing;
frequently washing your hands to protect from
germs; avoiding touching your eyes, nose and
mouth; and staying home when you are sick. For
more information, please view

Any of use of mobile telephones and any
other rude and distracting behaviors,

turn off your mobile telephone before each class

regarding what behaviors are appropriate for
class time, you should speak with your
instructor. |
