Attendance

I will take attendance the first few weeks to help me learn everyone's names - but after that attending is up to you.  I will treat you all as adults who are able to decide how to use your time.  That being said, the class is small, and I will have a sense of if you arena attending or not, which will play a role in your final participation memo. If you miss a lecture or a discussion or come in late FOR ANY REASON, you are responsible for contacting another student for the day’s notes and materials. I won’t reteach you what we went over that day.  Do not ask me “If you missed anything.” The answer is always “Yes.” I will also not be posting powerpoints, so coming to class is important to doing well on the final. 

 

When you come to class, I expect you to be on time.  I understand that people are late sometimes for reasons, but if lateness becomes an issue, I will  implement late-policy. Students coming in late disrupts class, and means I often have to repeat myself. 

 

If an extended illness or emergency makes it impossible to attend to responsibilities, please contact the Dean of Students, who will notify me so I can make any necessary accommodations.

​

If you forsee meetings/extra-curriculars/other classes conflicting with any part of this class on a regular basis, drop the class. We offer it every semester!

​

​

This being said – come talk to me if you ever have a major issue with your class work and I will be more than happy to try to work out a plan with you.

 

I’d rather you talk to me than try to figure it out on your own.

E-mail

​

You are expected to check your university e-mail on a regular basis, as this is how I will primarily communicate with you.  When you e-mail me, I will respond within 24 hours, and I expect the same of you as responsible young adults.
