Regular attendance is required.  Students with excessive absences will be dropped from the course.  If you are absent more than two (2) consecutive class sessions, please contact the instructor.  All students are expected to attend every class session.  Failure to do so may indicate a lack of serious commitment and purpose.  A student may be dropped from the course for excessive absence (including tardiness), regardless of cause, if the number of absences or tardiness is having an adverse effect upon your success in the course.   An inordinate number of absences will lower the final grade one grade point.  If you are not in class, you cannot participate in the relevant class discussion.

REMEMBER - THIS IS A HYBRID COURSE

There will be approximately six (6) 50 point examinations, interspersed throughout the semester.  The examinations will cover readings from the text, lecture discussions, guest speakers and other related group activities. 

The Examinations will consist of multiple-choice questions, and short answer responses. ON LINE, WEB CT

Final examination – during finals week

ALL EXAMINATIONS ARE MANDATORY.

Quizzes may also be given throughout the semester on an announced basis; 10-22 questions, multiple choice.  ON LINE, WEB CT

Cheating violates the standards of student conduct established by board policy 6080.  Students found cheating will be removed from the class setting and dropped from the course with an "F" grade.  Cheating applies to plagarism, taking on line quizzes or examinations in tandem, or any other form of working together.  This is a single effort course, not a tandem or group effort as it applies to examinations.

As assigned.  Please understand that extra credit - in class written assignments - will not receive the same point total value as other assignments.  ALL ASSIGNMENTS must be completed to receive extra credit @ the end of the semester's work.  If ALL ASSIGNMENTS ARE NOT COMPLETED, no extra credit point values will be calculated in totaling the FINAL GRADE.  In any case, extra credit will not raise a final grade more than ONE LETTER GRADE.  ALL POINT VALUES ARE AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE COURSE INSTRUCTOR.
