Instructional Methods:
This is a face-to-face course, in which you will attend class and submit all classwork on time. There will be daily reading and writing activities along with group and individual projects. Preparation for the next class is strongly encouraged because the class will be conducted based on the assumption that students have prepared for the class. Moreover, students need to become accustomed to the habit of preparation because all university classes require reading books or papers before the class; professors anticipate that students bring up questions about topics.
Student Responsibilities:
Students are expected to be prepared for class by doing all assigned reading as well as weekly homework assignments to be completed outside of class. Homework must be turned in on time. No late work will be accepted.
When you miss class for any reason, you are still responsible for the information presented and assignments given in class. Due dates remain the same whether you are in class or not. Contact a fellow student and the teacher for missed assignments.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to maintain high standards of integrity and honesty in all of their scholastic work. This means that any essay that is copied from a friend and from an online source will result in a zero grade point.
Syllabus Change Policy
The syllabus is a guide. Circumstances and events, such as student progress, may make it necessary for the instructor to modify the syllabus during the semester. Any changes made to the syllabus will be announced in advance.
