In an exceptional circumstance you may petition to hand in an assignment late.2. Grading encompasses every aspect of the course, from participation through final products. You can assume that every task requested directly or indirectly factors into your grade. For example, having your work prepared for your group is as important as having it ready for me. Regular feedback will be given on documents handed in. 3. You are encouraged to stop by my office at any point that you need to. I maintain an open door policy and will try to assist you whenever I am in my office.4. Please turn off cell phones and pagers before entering the classroom.5. The honor code provisions as outlined in the Bulletin and in the student handbook, The Lair, will be assumed for everyone. It should be clear from class discussion which projects will be collaborative and which ones must be individual. When in doubt, please ask to avoid potentially embarrassing situations. Plagiarism is a violation of the honor code and is prohibited.6. Students requiring accommodations for a disability should inform the instructor at the close of the first class meeting or as soon as possible. If you are not registered with Disability Services, the instructor will refer you to the Disability Support Services office for consultation regarding documentation of your disability and eligibility for accommodations under the ADA/504. In order to receive accommodations, eligible students must provide each instructorwith a “Faculty Accommodation Form” from Disability Services. Students must return the completed and signed form to the Disability Services Coordinator on the 3rd floor of the Connell Student Center. Students with a documented disability who do not wish to use academic accommodations are also strongly encouraged to register with Disability Services and complete a Faculty Accommodation Form each semester.

You must have regular access to your e-mail. Students are required to use their Mercer assigned e-mail address for all electronic communication. Access to the Web and to the Internet is also integral to the class work. A number of laboratories on campus will provide access, in addition to 216-A.File-naming conventions will be prescribed in order to avoid needless confusion about electronically submitted documents. Set your e-mail so as to assure that you get a time-and-date confirmation of any assignments submitted electronically. You are responsible for using the correct mailing address either to me individually, or to the class e-mail list. Page 3 of
