During the semester, the instructor will take attendance which may be taken at ANY point during the class period. If you are present when attendance is taken, you will earn 5 points for class participation. If you are absent at the time attendance is taken, you will earn 0 points. A total of 100 points will be possible. Three tardies equals one absence
2. Make-up Policy: No assignment will be accepted after the assigned class period for completion. Out-of-class writing assignments turned in LATE will receive NO CREDIT. Credit for LATE major assignments will be determined by prior conference with the instructor. If you are on school business, arrangements should be made before the missed class. Tests and in-class writings MAY NOT BE COMPLETED at times other than the scheduled times. Should a serious illness (doctor appointments or visits to campus health center are NOT considered a serious illness), death in the immediate family, or official school business prevent you from completing a test or in-class writing, contact your instructor. She may be able to prepare a different assignment as a substitute. You must contact her within ONE CLASS DAY of the absence in order to be allowed a different assignment.
3. Plagiarism: Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Plagiarism is defined as the copying of information from another source, such as another student, a magazine article, published text, the Internet, etc. No credit will be given to any assignment where plagiarism exists.
4. Class Assignments: Unless specified, all written work is to be keyboarded. Proofread your material before submitting it. All written assignments should include your name, title of assignment, course number, title and section, instructor's name and the date. Regular homework assignments/exercises are given for each chapter. If you are absent from a class, it is your responsibility to check with the instructor for the assignment prior to the next class period so that you may complete the homework on time and receive full credit. Specific instructions will be given for each individual oral presentation assignment, which includes Training I and II. A training module will be prepared and presented by teams of 3 students. Each team member will receive the same credit for the final presentation. If there are any major problems, the whole team should schedule a conference with the instructor at the earliest possible date.
