Course Policies
Missing or failing in the Community Service Program will merit a failing mark in this course. Requirements should be submitted on or before they are due. Late papers will not be accepted. Should a student miss a major test for serious health reasons, a medical certificate from the
university health physician should be secured and submitted to the professor. Then a special test may be administered.
No make-up tests for missed quizzes. No haggling and bargaining about grades.
