BECAUSE YOUR GRADE REFLECTS A SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE COURSE MATERIAL (AND NOT WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE DONE), YOU CAN NOT MISS MORE THAN TWO CLASSES FOR ANY REASON AND PASS THE CLASS.

GOOD REASON, BAD REASON, EXCUSED, UNEXCUSED, YOU CAN NOT HAVE MORE THAN TWO ABSENCES AND RECEVE CREDIT FOR THIS COURSE.

ATTENDANCE

Missing more than two classes will cause you to fail this class. No exception

Mising a scheduled meeting with me will also constitute an absence.

Reschedules/Extensions

Every student has the option once during the semester to reschedule the due date of an assignment with the following conditions: (A) you must notify me 7 days in advance of the original due date of the assignment (B) you must do some portion of the assignment. This required portion of a rescheduled assignment and the new due date will vary by individual case. THERE WILL BE NO CHANGES TO THESE CONDITIONS, EXCEPT AS NOTED ON THE SYLLABUS.

Students with receive "A-" or higher grades on the second assignment get a second reschedule as a reward.

Revisions for a better grade:

You are permitted to revise essays in this class; you must, however, return the revision within 10 days of getting yourcomments on the paper and you must meet with a mentor at the writing center.

Homeworks:

Even if you are absent/sick, your homework is still due. If you miss class, you must send your assignment to me by Blackboard.
Obviously, in medical emergencies, you will not be able to complete your homework. I will handle these episodes on a case by case basis.
