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

Attendance: You are expected to attend all class meetings. Attendance will be taken at each class meeting by signing the class roll.

Cheating and Plagiarism: 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 at http://adminservices.clayton.edu/judicial/.  

Making up missed work

• 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. 
• Make-up examinations will be given only if they are taken before graded examinations are returned to students (usually the next class period). In the event that a make-up examination cannot be taken before exams are returned to students, the missed examination will not count in calculating the course grade.  This means that other graded work will be responsible for a greater weight in determining the course final grade. The format of make-up exams will be up to the discretion of the instructor.
• In the event of a serious accident, birth of a baby, death of a family member, or jury duty, written documentation is required for the length of time absent. Routine doctor visits (i.e., annual eye exam, cleaning of teeth, etc.) should not be scheduled during class time.
• If you know you have a conflict prior to a scheduled test, see the instructor to arrange to take the exam prior to that day.
• Please contact instructor ASAP if you miss an exam.

Quizzes and exams: Quizzes and exams will be given at the beginning of the class period. If you come in late and the exam is still in progress, you may take the exam, but you will not be given any additional time to work. You must turn in your work when time is called. 

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

Late assignments: Assignments are due on the posted due date and by the end of my scheduled appearance on campus that day. Any work that is not turned in on the due date will be considered late and penalized 10% daily. Under no circumstances can an assignment be turned in more than 5 days late.

E-mail: Important messages and announcements will be sent to you via your CCSU account. You must activate your account and check your e-mail regularly.  If you cannot use your CSU account, it is your responsibility to send me an alternate e-mail address.  You are responsible for all e-mails sent to the class list.

Website: Check your instructor's web page regularly for new postings. You are responsible for printing out any handouts or other important items posted on the syllabus for this class.
