HOMEWORK AND CLASS WORK All homework is due on the due date at the

Homework should be typed, double-spaced, left justified (not centered), a readable size 12 or 14 font, and printed in black ink. You can print on campus.

All class work must be done in class and turned in that day and at the time specified.

If you are absent or tardy or leave class, you cannot make up the class work (including quizzes) that you missed.

Your name should be on all of your work.

HOW TO GET AN “A” Show up on time to each class. Do not miss class, come tardy, or

leave early. Be prepared for each class with your homework and studying done. Follow the directions and be mindful of the grading rubric for

each assignment. Pay attention to your syllabus. All homework and quizzes are

listed in the syllabus. Work hard—make a true effort with your homework and class

work. Participate in class discussions and activities. Be diligent, responsible, and a good citizen of the class. (This

means, among other things, being respectful of everyone, including yourself. Put away your cell phone. Put away your food.)

If you are experiencing some issue that is interfering with your ability to perform at your best in this class, please contact me and let me know. I am here to help you, and I can do a better job of that if you keep me informed of what’s going on with you.

Get your work done early. Waiting until the last minute may mean not having your work done because of unforeseen problems with computers, printers, etc.
