Course Schedule  

The course schedule is provided on a separate page. Be sure to check it often to keep track of any changes in the due dates of assignments and exams during the semester.  Due dates for assignments may be changed at the instructor's discretion.  You are responsible for keeping track of due dates and turning in your work when it is required.  

Please note that the schedule is tentative and the dates of the exams and the chapters that each exam will cover are tentative and subject to change. Exam dates are not set until they are announced in class. The exam date will be announced at least one week in advance

Course Policies:

Students must abide by policies in the Clayton State University Student Handbook.  Students are also expected to abide by the guidelines in the "Basic Student Responsibilities" document on the registrar's web page.

Cheating in any form will not be tolerated; all work that you turn in must be in your own words and must be your own work.  If your brainpower did not generate what you turn in, it is considered cheating.  The following are examples of cheating:  copying the work of another person, allowing another person to do your assignment,  working in a group on a graded item, copying or closely paraphrasing referenced sources, using anything but your brainpower on an exam, etc.  Cheating in any form will result in a zero on the assignment and academic misconduct forms will be filed with the Office of Judicial Affairs for any violation. Judicial procedures are described on the webpage of the Office of Judicial Affairs.

Attendance is expected at all class meetings. Attendance will be taken at each class meeting with the student's signature on the class roll. Quizzes and tests will be given at the beginning of the class; if you arrive late, you may be permitted to take the quiz/exam as long as the materials have not been collected from the class.  However, you will be required to turn in the assignment at the same time as the rest of the class - NO extra time will be given.  Exceptions to this policy can be made only under extenuating circumstances and with a WRITTEN excuse or explanation for tardiness or absence.

Absences from tests must be accompanied by a note from a competent authority (doctor, judge, etc.).  The excuse must specifically indicate the dates that are to be excused, must be presented upon the first class day that the student returns to school, and makeup arrangements must be made at that time.  Without a written excuse, no makeups will be given.  Makeups will not be permitted after the graded exams have been returned to the class (generally one week).  If you are unable to makeup an exam from an excused absence, the missed examination will not count in your final course grade (which means that the remaining graded work will be responsible for a greater weight in determining your final grade).  In addition, excuses will not be accepted for routine procedures (checkups, teeth cleanings, eye exams, etc).  Students should not schedule such appointments for class times.

All electronic devices including cell phones, palm pilots, pagers, calculators, etc. are not allowed during exams or quizzes.  Possession and/or use of these items during an exam or quiz will result in a zero on the graded activity.

For other class assignments, all work is due at the beginning of class.  Any work that is not turned in on the due date will be considered late and penalized 10%.  Assignments will be penalized an additional 10% for each extra day late.  Under no circumstances can an assignment be turned in more than 5 days late.

There are NO make-up quizzes.

Any questions concerning grades on an assignment must be submitted within one week of the assignment being returned to the student.

Each student must activate his/her e-mail account at Clayton State University . The class list serve will be the only method for communicating with the class by email.  Important announcements will be sent to the class on the class list serve.

Visitors (friends, children, etc.) are strictly prohibited from attending class without the permission of the instructor.

No smoking, eating or drinking is permitted at any time in the classroom.
