The mail without a subject line in the required format will be interpreted as spam and deleted without reading.

Student Responsibilities

Time Commitment

Past experience has shown a high correlation between procrastination and low grades. Furthermore, procrastination will severely limit interaction with other students. Students must be committed to completing tasks on time.

This course will require3-4 hours per week outside of the classroom (the actual amount is dependent on each student’s background). This requirement may influence the time allotted to other classes. A student with a "heavy" schedule (school combined with work and family) should be aware of the dedication that this course requires. These factors cannot be used for special consideration on assignment due dates in the class; therefore, the students must evaluate this requirement before proceeding with the course.

Attendance Policy

Attendance is critical; participation of all students in the classroom activities is essential to this learning format. Students should be aware that attendance does not guarantee a passing grade in the class. Students missing more than TWO classes in courses that meet once per week will receive a failing grade. The student may file a drop form within the appropriate time frame through the office of the Registrar to avoid a failing grade.

Note: The failing grade issued will be an F. Students may be required to retake courses to complete program requirements.

Grading Policy

The course is based on mastery of course outcomes. The student's grade for this course will be calculated based on performance.
