I understand the
attendance policy. Writing Lab hours will count as class attendance with a scale
of one hour equaling one class. I must schedule and complete 12 hours in the Lab
by the end of the semester. I know that any absences more than three will cause
my final course grade to fall by one third of a grade. I further realize that
absences in excess of eight will probably cause course failure.
I
understand that attendance will be taken each class with a written roster. Failure
to get my name on the roster is my fault and constitutes an absence.
I understand that I may be late up to ten minutes without a lateness (however
I may miss a class activity, which cannot be made up, and suffer the consequence
of that); however, after ten minutes, I will be late (and three late arrivals
equals one absence). I will not enter class after fifteen minutes late. If Dr.
Hoogeveen is not in class by fifteen minutes after the start of class, I may leave
without penalty.
I understand that I must do all the work
or that I will fail the course.
I understand that cell phones
should be turned off prior to the start of class, and that while they may ring
during the class, they are never to be answered. If I answer a cell phone, I understand
that I have just received an absence.
I understand that my
behavior must conform to the standards as articulated in the University Code of
Conduct. Any disruptions, disrespect, or obscenity will cause an absence and may
require a written explanation for my actions submitted to Dr. Hoogeveen, Dr. Van
Dover (Department of English Chair), and Dr. Willis (Dean of School of Humanities)
before I may return to class.
I understand how the grades
will be calculated for all my assignments and I understand how my final grade
will be computed.
I understand and will abide by the syllabus.
