Remediation Policy
The instructor will meet with students who do not pass exams. Both parties will develop a plan to gain better understanding of the information covered on the test. The plan may include but not be limited to:
Mandatory remediation sessions exams will be a group event at a date/time set by the instructor. Failure to arrive on time and complete the remediation at the set date/time will result in negative (-10)points.
Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory achievement. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the student to attend. Please notify me, by email or text, if you will not be in class. Cases of excessive absences, more than 2, will be handled on an individual basis and will require a counseling session. Following this session, a departmental counseling form will be placed in the student's file. The purpose of this form is to document that the student was made aware that excessive absences were jeopardizing successful course completion.
Following an absence, it is the student's responsibility to obtain lecture notes from classmates. I will be happy to discuss any information from the class, but my lecture notes are not available for copying.
