Cheating will not be tolerated. If cheating occurs, a grade of F will be assigned. Also, a letter to the Dean will be sent explaining this action.

Respect your fellow students. Listen attentively to what they have to say. Be considerate in your comments. An objective of the class is to make all participants feel comfortable and encouraged to actively participate and express their opinions.
