Policies and Assistance
|
| Attendance When you registered for this class you agreed to attend every lecture. Your class grade depends in part upon your showing up to every class meeting (this is especially true of the evening classes). In addition, the design of the class is such that if you miss lecture you will miss content that you may not be able to find outside of class. On the other hand, simply showing up for class does not equal good class participation. This course will require that you be prepared to offer your opinions, ask questions and elicit discussion when appropriate. If you have any questions or concerns about this requirement, do not hesitate to come and talk to me. ** Additionally, the University Attendance policy is in effect in this class. This policy states that students with fewer than 28 hours (Freshmen) whose absences exceed 15% of class meetings (9 class days) are removed from the course with an "F," as are students with 28 or more hours (Sophomores - Seniors) who are absent in excess of 25% of the class meetings (14 class days). This policy includes all absences, including those excused by the university. Academic Honesty Every assignment that you turn in to me during this class must be original work. Any written work or idea that is not your own MUST be properly cited. Failure to properly cite someone else's written work or ideas will result in a "F" for the class as well as a notarized report to the Associate Academic Dean. There are no exceptions to this rule including ignorance of proper citation procedures or "unintentional" plagiarism. In addition to plagiarism, any case of dishonesty regarding an assignment, class attendance or an exam is punishable as Academic Dishonesty and will also garner an "F" for the class and letter to the Associate Academic Dean. If you have any questions about what constitutes Academic Dishonesty see me, consult The Helmsman, or check with the Associate Academic Dean. Additional Learning Assistance If you find that you are having trouble with any part of the class, please come and see me during my office hours or schedule an appointment. In addition, do not hesitate to use the resources available at Furman. For further information about these resources consult the Center for Collaborative Learning and Communication located in the lower level of the James B. Duke library. Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations should contact Susan Clark at the Office of Disability Services, which is located in the basement of Plyler Hall. |
