Attendance, Testing, and Cheating: Attendance in this course is mandatory and will be recorded regularly. Your success in this course is directly dependent on your attendance.
Exam attendance is required and make-up exams will be given only under extreme circumstances. Make-up exams will be allowed only in cases of illness with a doctor’s excuse, excused university functions, or family emergencies with a written excuse from a family member. If you are forced to miss an exam you must notify me within 24 hours of the exam. Failure to do so will result in a zero on that exam. If you know ahead of time that you will be absent please let me know and prior arrangements for testing can be made.
Cheating in any form will not be tolerated and will automatically result in failure of the course. Cellular phones are included in the cheating policy and any appearance of a cellular phone (or other communication devise) during a test will be considered an attempt to cheat by the student.
Likewise electronic devises such as cellular phones etc. will not be allowed in lecture unless prior approval is given by the instructor.
