In-class Use of Student Notebook Computers:
Student notebook computers may be used in the classroom in this
course for class assignments. Computers will be required to access
course materials, work on assignments outside of class, and to
communicate with your instructor. Students may be permitted to
use computers in class for general use at the instructor's
discretion. Instructor's may deny permission to
use a computer during class time. In addition, instructors reserve the right to forbid
computer use to particular students if those students are found using them for purposes not
related to the course (e.g., web surfing, email, instant messaging,
etc.). This same limitations apply to
the use of other electronic devices in class (including, but not limited to
cell phones, personal digital assistants, etc.). Violation of these
rules will result in loss of points, so check with your instructor
to determine what is acceptable.

Mid-term Progress Report
The mid-term grade in this course reflects approximately 20% of the
entire course grade. Based on this grade, students may choose to
withdraw from the course and receive a grade of "W."
Students pursuing this option must fill out an official withdrawal
form, available in the Office of the Registrar or online, by mid-term,
which occurs on June 27th.
Course Schedule
The course schedule is provided on a separate page - you should check
this page often for updates to the schedule. 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 by your instructor, so check with him/her if you are
uncertain of the date of an upcoming exam.
Final Exam Schedule:
Final exams are given on the last day of class (Tuesday July
31st), in the classroom, at the same time as the class regularly meets.
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.
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. Some class assignments may be given during class
time and absence from that class period will result in a zero for that
class assignment. If you have an acceptable excuse, those points
will not count in your grade.
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.
In general I do not give makeup exams, instead the points do not count
in your final grade (which means that the remaining graded work will
be responsible for a greater weight in determining your final grade).
You are only permitted one excused absence from
class exams. If you miss more than one with an excuse,
you will need to seek a hardship withdrawal as the exams are the
majority of the points in the class. 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 unless
otherwise specified. Unauthorized possession and/or use of
these items during an exam or quiz will result in an automatic zero on
the graded activity.
For other class assignments, unless otherwise specified,
all work is due in class on the due date. Any work that
is turned in after the set time will be considered late and penalized
20%. Assignments will be penalized an additional 20% for each
extra day late.
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.
You should also check my web page regularly for new postings.
Handouts given in class and other important items will be posted on
the web page for this class.
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.
