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.
- Traveling to athletic events.
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. In-class homework and quizzes
may or may not be announced in advanced. The instructor reserves
the right to assign in-class work without advanced notice. 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" in the course and a referral
to the Dean and to the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities
(SDSU Student Affairs) 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.
