You must be prepared to meet on Fridays at 9:00 am throughout the term. The course will include exactly 56 class sessions. When a class meets on Friday, a class will not meet on some other day of the week. You will be provided a syllabus and compilation of materials the first day of classes. In the meantime, read the attached "How things are done" with care before the first day. HOW THINGS ARE DONE 1. Attendance: Regular and punctual attendance is required. No student who has more than 6 absences shall be eligible to take the final examination. No student who has a combined total of more than 9 absences and tardies shall be eligible to take the final examination. A student is tardy if not seated in the assigned seat at the time the student's name is called. EACH STUDENT IS RESPONSIBLE TO ASSURE THAT A TARDY IS NOT RECORDED AS AN ABSENCE. EACH STUDENT IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE TO KEEP ACCOUNT OF THE ATTENDANCE RECORD AND IS NOT ENTITLED TO ANY NOTICE OR WARNING THAT LIMITS ARE ABOUT TO BE EXCEEDED. 2. Decorum: No eating, smoking or drinking is permitted in the classroom during class. Any student who breaches this standard will be directed to refrain and to remove offending substances from the classroom. Students are to be clean and modestly attired and SHALL NOT WEAR HATS DURING CLASS. Abidance by these standards is a condition of satisfactory completion of the course. 3. Keep your seat: Once you are seated and the class has begun, KEEP your seat until the class ends. If you have a special requirement to arise during the class, either permanently or temporarily, make seating arrangements with the professor in advance. 4. Laptops: You may NOT USE laptop computers in this class. Turn them off and put away before class begins. 5. TURN OFF CELL PHONES AND PAGERS BEFORE ENTERING CLASS ROOM. Powered by Coranto
