Expect a substantial amount of work outside the classroom for this class this semester.

If for some reason I am not in class, you are to turn in the homework due for that class period to the Division of Business & Public Service offices (Center Campus A-134,South Campus C-335)

If Utica Community Schools close because of snow, I will not be conducting class. Homework due for that class & the following class will be due the following class period.

Assignments will be graded as to CORRECTNESS, COMPLETENESS, and TIMELINESS. Quality of work turned in must be in a professional and business-like manner. Plagiarism and cheating WILL NOT be tolerated. Any student found guilty of either, will AUTOMATICALLY receive a failing grade!

An "I" grade is given only when a small portion of the course work is required to be completed. Student must have attended the first fifteen weeks of the semester. If the work is not completed by the end of the following semester, class grade will be computed with the incomplete course work as 0%. This MUST be discussed with the professor.

Students who OFFICIALLY withdraw during the first 3/4 of the semester (#12 week) shall receive a "W" grade. Students may NOT officially withdraw during the last 1/4 of the semester, but will be given their earned grade.
