Policies



1. Although students usually consider me a "tough grader,"
I honestly want you to learn and succeed in this course. Therefore, by following the guidelines here, you have ample opportunity to earn a passing grade if you put forth diligent effort. While only truly superior work will earn an A, work making sincere effort rarely earns lower than a CR.

2. If you miss class, informing me of your situation demonstrates professional courtesy and willingness to take your responsibility to the class seriously, which will count in your favor when I determine your participation score. However, I make no distinctions between excused and unexcused absences. An absence is counted as an absence, regardless of the reason for it.

3. If you miss class, you are responsible for acquiring notes from classmates. Because of the nature of seminar style classes, I will likely be unable to give you a detailed summary of what happened in class. In-class exercises may not be made up.

4. I do not automatically drop students who stop attending class. Therefore, you must take responsibility for dropping or withdrawing or be willing to accept the consequences.

5. Incompletes will be given only if you complete work through the 12th week of classes with a passing grade.
