ADDITIONAL COURSE POLICIES

You must complete the world perspectives paper and both tests to receive a passing grade in this course. Late assignments will not be accepted except under special conditions, which must be approved in advance of the due date. I also reserve the right to alter the means of evaluation if I sense that the class as a whole is not keeping up. This may be in the form of quizzes.

Be aware, too, that extra credit is not available in this course. All students will be graded according to the same expectations. You should thus strive to do your best at all times. If you have questions about what you are being asked to do, please raise them in advance of the assignment (or test) due date.

Make-ups exams will be administered only with documented proof of an acceptable situation (e.g., death in family, hospitalization). All requests (and documentation) for a make-up exam must be presented within twenty-four (24) hours of the exam date.

I do not award the grade of "I" (incomplete) for this course except under the most unusual circumstances. Everyone on the official roster receives a grade based on what s/he has earned as of the date of the final exam.

Your decision to enroll and stay in this course means that you accept the terms of this syllabus. This includes attending class regularly. It is your responsibility to make certain that you do so. I can not excuse absences for lack of planning or your decision to schedule alternative activities during regular class times. You are also responsible for all information presented in class, whether you are there or not.

I am available during office hours, by phone, or via e-mail to talk with you about any aspect of the course. As necessary, we can also arrange to meet outside of office hours by special appointment.
