¨ Attendance. Attendance in my class is extremely important. I monitor attendance on a daily basis. Lack of attendance means you are not serious about this course and will result in a lowered grade. ¨ Students with disabilities. Any student who has a disability and is in need of classroom accommodations, please contact the instructor and the Services for Students with Disabilities Office in Old Library 2136 at the beginning of the semester. ¨ Baccalaureate degree goals. This course has a very strong emphasis on many of the goals. ¨ Academic integrity. I consider any academic misconduct in this course as a serious offense, and I will pursue the strongest possible academic penalties for such behavior. The disciplinary procedures and penalties for academic misconduct are described in the UW-Eau Claire Student Services and Standards Handbook in Chapter UWS 14—Student Academic Disciplinary Procedures. |

Late Papers Don’t ! An excused late paper will result in a substantial reduction in your grade. An unexcused late paper will result in failure. An excused late paper is one for which you receive written permission (see me) on or before the due date. |
