Attendance: Attendance to all class meetings is required. Students are expected to be prepared during class. Attendance and classroom participation will be a SIGNIFICANT factor in determining the student’s final grade for the class. If you must be absent, arrange for another student to pick up handouts for you. You are responsible for getting class notes, announcements, and handouts from another student. You cannot make an A grade in this course if 2 classes are missed or a B if three are missed.2. Participation: Participation in group discussions, video reflections, and presentations makes up a large portion of your grade and cannot be made up. You must be present on these days to receive credit.3. Assignments: Assignments submitted as requirements for another class should not be submitted for this class. All assignments should be original work of students completed for this class. Students are expected to turn in assignments on time. Any assignment turned in late will be lowered one letter grade per business day; no credit will be given for assignments turned I more than a week late. All assignments must be typed or word-processed (with the exception of those written in class). Please make a hard or electronic copy of any submitted assignment.4.
