As a student you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained relationships, increased anxiety, alcohol/drug problems, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or lack of motivation.

Expected Student Behavior

\ Be on time and prepared for classroom discussion.  Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated.  Any plagiarism or "group efforts" on assignments may result in a failing grade for the assignment or the course. 

Grading Criteria

Students will be graded on the four periodic exams covering all 16 chapters of the text in addition to chapter assignments and discussion board responses.  The exams will each count for 10% of the student's grade and the quizzes and class participation will count for the final 60%.  One will benefit from this course relative to the amount of effort expended in his studies - failure to complete the assigned exercises will limit your comprehension of the material.  Any student requesting a "curve" or extra assignments will receive no further consideration without active course participation.  Please plan ahead accordingly.

Please see instructor before the exam to arrange for a make up assignment.  Since each exam will be available for an entire week (and their due dates announced at the beginning of the semester), last-minute requests may not be considered except in the most extreme of circumstances.

Examinations will consist of essay, true/false, multiple choice, matching or short answer questions.  The Final exam will NOT be cumulative.  Final grade will be determined by dividing total number of points by the number of tests and pojects.  The instructor reserves the right to subjectively influence the final grade relative to class attendance, participation and attitude.

If a situation arises during the semester that inhibits your performance, please see me individually as soon as possible.  I am usually willing to explore alternate options that would result in successful completion of the course.

Attendance

\ Attendance Policy: Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory achievement.  Therefore, it is the responsibility of the student to attend class.  Due to the inherent nature of the online classroom, a formal attendance will not be taken; however, timely completion of assignments will indicate to the instructor the time and effort put forth by the student.  Grades may be adjusted accordingly. 

Calendar

Additional Information

It is the responsibility of the student to initiate drop or withdrawal procedures through the registrar's office.  Students who stop attending class but do not officially drop or withdraw from this course will receive a letter grade at the end of the semester.
