Rescheduling
- Late homework will not be accepted
- No make-up quizzes
- No make-up tests
Personal Conflicts
No special arrangements will be made for personal conflicts such
as:
- Family related issues (weddings, visiting relatives
or relatives visiting you during regular class meetings).
- Work related conflicts: schedule, travelling,
etc.
- Vacations planned during regular class meetings.
- Personal problems with roommates.
Special arrangements can be made, however, only
in the most compelling and verifiable reasons such as disabilities.
In order to compensate for unforseable conflicts for beign ill
or simply having a bad day, some low scores from homework/quizzes
might be dropped. The exact number will be determined at the end
of the semester.
Cell Phones
Please turn off your cell phones during class. No texting while class in progress.
You will be reported to the Dean's office for texting or use of cell phone during
class.
Grades
I submit the grade you earned in the class. This grade may be different than
the one you wanted or needed in the class. I do not negotiate grades. Please
respect this policy.
Disabilities
Students needing special accommodations for testing need to inform
the instructor as soon as possible. Failure to do so will result
in having to take the tests in class.
Attendance
Attendance will not be recorded. It is your responsability, however,
to be up to date in the progress of the course, dates for: homework,
quizzes, exams, and any possible changes made to this syllabus.
Please visit regularly this web page since class information will
be posted throughout the semester.
Lateness or leaving class early, reading
newspapers or other material not related to this class, along
with any other behavior considered a distraction to those around
you, including the instructor, will not be tolerated. If lateness
becomes a common problem, the instructor reserves the right to
lock the doors.
Academic Integrity
All work that you complete in this class should be your own.
In particular, exams, homework, and quizzes, are considered individual
work. Copying someone else work is considered cheating and will
be penalized. Any form of cheating will result in an "F" and
a referral to the Dean for further action. Any conduct that distracts
from the learning process will not be tolerated. If a student disrupts
the class or hinders the progress of any other student (i.e. talking
during the lecture portion of the class), that student will be
dropped from class.
General Questions
Remeber that you are in charge of your education. Take responsibility
and learn the material as best you can. If you have a question,
ask it! If you do not understand something, say so! Any question
that will help you to better understand the material is not stupid.
Because of this, I expect you to be patient and respectful of
others who ask questions in an effort to do well.
TA/Grader
A TA/Grader may be assigned to this course. Name and office hours
will be announced later. |
