Teachnig Method
Information concerning the course will be sent to you via email from time to time. Please check your email often. Changes in course content or schedule will be announced in class. Please do not let the instructor’s email in the spam box. It is the responsibility of the student to hear and record this information as announced.
Grading
Grades and feedback for assignments will be posted or sent to you within two weeks of the due date. Students wishing to appeal the grading of an assignment must make the appeal in writing within 1week after your grade is posted or sent. A logical, cogent argument as to why you question the grade is required—“I don’t think the grade is fair” doesn’t count! Responses to appeals will be made within one week.
Expectations for Student Conduct and Participation
Norms for in-class behavior include respecting your class mates and instructor by arriving on time, remaining in class for the entire class period, turning off cell phones, listening to comments and questions of others, and giving attention and respect to ideas and divergent views expressed as part of the course.
Academic Misconduct
Examples of academic misconduct include (but are not limited to) plagiarism, copying the work of another student, and possession of unauthorized materials during an examination. Ignorance of the Conduct is never considered an “excuse” for academic misconduct. If I suspect that a student has committed academic misconduct in this course, I am obligated by University Rules to report my suspicions to the Committee on Academic Misconduct.
