** Attendance You will receive 2 points for each day that you attend class and sign the
sign-in sheet. You must sign in when the sign in sheet is passed around
in class in order to get credit for attendance. The total points awarded for
this will depend upon how many class sessions we have in which
attendance is taken. PLEAS NOTE: I reserve the right to make additional
positive or NEGATIVE overall grade adjustments based on class
attendance/participation.
Final Grade Your final grade will be based on a % of total points earned as follows:
Make-up exams will be give ONLY for excused absences, which must be
determined prior to the exam. Excused absences may be given for
verifiable medical or family emergencies. Written documentation must be
provided for substantiation of the absence. Students who do not show up
Make-up Exams
for an exam, and for whom prior arrangements have not been made will
receive a score of 0. There is no guarantee that the level of difficulty of
the make-up exam will be compatible to that of the original test. All make-
up exams will be taken at a time determined by the instructor.
Each student will participate in and prepare one team presentation. The
team sizes, topics and presentation dates will be assigned based on the
class size. In general, the teams will be 2 -4 participants and will require
the selection of a relevant topic, a 10-15 minute in-class presentation, as
well as the submission of possible exam questions to be used. The date
on which a presentation will be made will be spread out throughout the
Presentation semester. The professor will determine each team's presentation date.
Grading of the presentation will come from three sources: (1) Instructor
(75%), (2) Class (15%) and (3) team members (10%).
The topics covered in each presentation are valid topics for testing
purposes.

A student at the university neither loses the rights nor escapes the
responsibilities of citizenship. He or she is expected to obey federal, state,
and local laws as well as the Regents’ Rules, university regulations, and
administrative rules. Students are subject to discipline for violating the
standards of conduct whether such conduct takes place on or off campus,
or whether civil or criminal penalties are also imposed for such conduct.
The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility and
academic honesty. Because the value of an academic degree depends
upon the absolute integrity of the work done by the student for that degree,
it is imperative that a student demonstrate a high standard of individual
honor in his or her scholastic work.
Plagiarism, especially from the web, from portions of papers for other
classes, and from any other source is unacceptable and will be dealt with
under the university’s policy on plagiarism (see general catalog for
details). This course will use the resources of turnitin.com, which
searches the web for possible plagiarism and is over 90% effective.
