Course Contract

"It doesn't matter what I say in class
because the only way you will ever learn is to read and think."
- Ralph Lynn

    The policies mentioned in the General Class Policies and in your class syllabus represent a contract between you and me, i.e. Dr. Sitton. By accepting this syllabus, you indicate you have read and understood both. More importantly, signing this document indicates you understand the consequences of the Academic Honesty Policy, the Attendance Policy and the Missed Assignments Policy.
"You must want to do this and be willing to spend the time it takes to develop your (talent and knowledge). But the choice is yours." - Ann Woodworth, Northwestern

   Your decision to take this class includes a decision to attend the class every time it meets. My decision to teach the class includes a commitment to offer sessions worth attending; if I'm not doing that, please let me know. If you're serious about taking this course, sign this page and bring it to the next class, where we'll discuss any questions you have.
