WebCT
The WebCT site at https://class.kent.edu/webct/public/home.pl will basically
manage the
course. The syllabus, assignments and course information will be available
there. Your Kent userid and password will enable you to enter the site if you
are enrolled for the class. A help page for using WebCT is found at: http://webcthelp.kent.edu/v3/
E-mail
When
there are schedule changes or other announcements, the instructor will e-mail
you using your KSU e-mail address. Check this frequently. If you commonly use
another address, forward your Kent e-mail to that address. You can do this easily
on the Kent Help Desk site at: https://www.personal.kent.edu/changeforward.html
To
e-mail the instructor use: jformich@kent.edu
or if you reply to an e-mail from the instructor with another address, that is
ok. Do not e-mail the instructor at WebCT.
For
homework assignments, if you put the letters hw with a space on each side of
the hw in the subject line of the e-mail, a reply will be generated to you that
the instructor has received your homework. For example:
Subject: Jones hw 5
You
will not get the reply immediately, but you should have it within a day.

Grading Scale
90-100
A 80-89 B 70-79 C
60-69 D 0-59
F
This scale is followed
closely and there is no extra credit.
Missing class is not an
excuse for failure to understand material or complete assignments. Material covered in class will not be
covered again outside of class. It is up to you to read the material and get
notes from another student if you miss class. Do not expect any special help or
privileges if you do not attend class regularly.
Late Assignments
Assignments
are due at the beginning of the class on the due date. Absence from class is
not an excuse for failing to have the assignment in. Late assignments will be
penalized 10% per day (not per class session).
Assignments will not be accepted after one week beyond the due
date.
Make-up
exams are given only under extraordinary circumstances. Inform the instructor
as soon as possible (ideally before the exam). Some form of written excuse for
absence from an exam is required.
Cheating means to
misrepresent the source, nature, or other conditions of your academic work
(e.g., tests, papers, projects, assignments) so as to get undeserved
credit. The use of the intellectual
property of others without giving them appropriate credit is a serious academic
offense. It is the University's policy
that cheating or plagiarism result in receiving a failing grade for the work or
course. Repeat offenses result in
dismissal from the University.
Academic honesty is expected
and required. HELPING fellow students is acceptable. COPYING is NOT acceptable,
and will result in loss of credit for the assignment, and possibly failure of
the course for all students involved. If you give help to another student, then
it is your responsibility to make sure that they fully understand the concepts.
If copying is suspected,
both (or all) students involved will receive zeros for that assignment at the
least, and possibly a failure for the course. DO NOT GIVE OTHERS YOUR WORK.
Students with
disabilities: In accordance with
University policy, if you have a documented disability and require
accommodations to obtain equal access in this course, please contact the instructor
at the beginning of the semester or when given an assignment for which an
accommodation is required. Students
with disabilities must verify their eligibility through the Office of Student
Disability Services (SDS) in the Michael Schwartz Service Center (672-3391).
