Procedures &
Words of Advice
Please
keep up with your reading. We will cover most
chapters of the book. The pages and chapters covered for each class are
listed and you should have read these pages before each class--your
understanding and class participation will be greatly enhanced by being
current on your reading. Students may be chosen at random in class to
relate concepts they have learned from the reading assignment. Keeping
notes as you read and/or highlighting key passages will assist you in
your presentation when called upon.
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.
Let's all
enjoy the class, learn and have
fun!
