Examinations will be drawn heavily from lectures which are supplemented by readings. I will not ask you anything on an exam that has not been discussed in class. If you are absent you will be missing valuable course content. 2. It is important that students take complete notes and advisable to read assignments at least twice to familiarize yourself with the material and to connect the readings with the lectures. 3. The instructor recommends that student’s use the resources (i.e. tutors) provided by the Center for Learning (#623-845-3810) when needed. Note: Students caught cheating will be withdrawn from the course with a “Y” grade. Reports- 40 points Short written and oral reports will be presented on: 1. A topic provided by the instructor-10 points (see page 6) 2. An issue selected by the student-30 points (see page 7) Class Contribution (including attendance)-30 points Students are expected to ask and answer questions and participate in class discussions. Up to thirty (30) points will be awarded for your contribution to the class. Attendance Policy Each student is responsible for the information and materials presented every class day unless excused for official absences (see student handbook). Excessive absences and arriving late for class will cause points to be deducted. Please call me so your absence can be excused. 1. Any student accumulating more than two absences will need to meet with me to discuss why he/she should not be dropped from the class. 2. As a rule, two (2) points will be deducted for each unexcused absence after two absences.3Grade Breakdown: Exams: 300 points Reports: 40 points Class Contribution (including attendance): 30 points Total: 370 points A- 333-375 B- 296-332 C- 259-295 D- 222-258 F- below 222 Extra Credit A total of 16 extra credit points can be earned.
