Contract

Contract Between The Professor And Student

The use of the world wide web changes how faculty and students interact. Obviously, based on my use of the web to support traditional faculty-student support services and teaching, I feel that the web can improve the thoroughness of teacher-student interactions.

Despite these improvements, it is imperative that some aspects of the traditional approach to teaching be retained. One such aspect is the use of the course outline as a contract between the lecturer and student for the content of the course, the format of the lectures, the assignments due, the number of exams, and a summary of all components of student assessment for grading purposes.

To fulfill this important contractual arrangement between us, I need you to,

	read this document,
	print it,
	initialize all components in the squared parentheses provided,
	sign the form, and
	then submit the form to me to place on file.

This will be my documentation that you are aware of all matters that pertain to this course, and most importantly, that you understand the need to study, and complete and submit assignments on the dates specified. As I will have discussed in class, this contract is also fundamentally important for you the have documentation that I will adhere to the stated course outline, provide all support functions for your learning, and provide assessment as stated in the Course Outline.
