A Note on Grading
Dates for exams, quizzes and homework are shown on the above schedule. Except for documented emergencies (ie death in the family, doctor’s excuse), no makeup exams or quizzes will be allowed. Homework due dates will be given at the time the homework is assigned – no late assignments will be accepted except for documented emergencies.
Exams, quizzes and homework will be based on your readings and material covered in class. Therefore, it is to your advantage to attend class regularly and to keep up with readings.
Academic Dishonesty
> <br> It is expected that all work you submit for a grade will be your own. If this is not the case, a failing grade will be assigned for the work and/or course, and the instructor reserves the right to pursue additional sanctions, as provided by University rules and regulations. If you are not familiar with these rules and regulations, you can find them in the current University Phone Directory.
> <br> In particular, each of you must submit your own work. Should two or more of you submit identical or substantially identical assignments/quizzes, then I can only assume that one (or more) of you copied from the other(s). In such a circumstance, every student involved will receive a failing grade for the assignment or course. Additional sanctions may be pursued in accord with University rules and regulations.

A Note on Class Decorum
> <br> I interpret your coming to class as an expression of your interest in learning as much as you possibly can. Certainly, you should assume that this is your classmates' intention in being here. In fairness to your classmates (and me), I expect you to refrain from talking to others, reading newspapers, sleeping, playing radios or CDs, making telephone calls and other similar, disruptive activities. Don't be surprised if I ask you or someone else to leave because of conduct detrimental to the class. If you simply must study for a test later that day, stay home, go to the Library, find a bench outdoors. Don't do it in class.

A Note on Extra Credit
In general, I do not make extra credit available. It is up to you to stay current with the material covered in class, and a poor grade on an assignment is not a reason for me to provide extra credit. On rare occasions, I may consider giving an extra credit assignment, but it will only be for a few points, and in order to be fair, must be made available to everyone.
Readings
> <br> This course is designed to help you develop skills that will serve you in an ever changing professional environment. In particular, your text and any other supplementary materials you may acquire are resources to help you master important concepts. You should take the extra time to familiarize yourself with them.
