| ATTENDANCE POLICY |
Attendance
is highly recommended. Much of the course material is presented
in class and may not be found in the text or materials outside the
class. Quizzes and exams missed for whatever reason may not be
made up. The instructor is the sole arbiter of whether an absence
is excused or unexcused; the instructor will make such a determination
in a fair and objective way on an ad hoc basis. For quizzes and
exams missed because of such excused absence, no grade will be
entered. For quizzes and exams missed because of an unexcused
absence, the grade will be a 0 for the missed assignment(s). |

| ASSESSABLE LEARNING GOALS |

synthesizing new and appropriate content appropriate to the subject
matter, and expressing all these goals in scholarly written
communication. |

| ASSIGNMENTS POLICY |

recommend that the student meet with the intstructor to discuss
withdrawal from the course. |
