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.
