VIA. Policies and Notes
1. Class participation/discussion is essential, requiring your full commitment. Read the chapters before the scheduled discussion. A-11 students enrolled in this class are expected to engage in discussion. Voluntary contributions are preferable, but, when lacking, the Professor will call on students. The material is challenging, and requires slow, careful reading. Sometimes reading several
times will be necessary. Questions brought before the class relevant to the reading assignments are also participation.
2. Late submission of assignments is unfair to other students who adhere to the published schedule, and is unfair to the Professor because it creates variation in the grading routine, and causes confusion. For these reasons, late assignments are not accepted for credit.
3. According to University policy, in order to obtain credit in a course, the student must attend at least 75% of the class sessions. The maximum number of unexcused absences that may be accumulated is twice the number of weekly meetings (4 class sessions for a TT class, 2 class sessions for a M class). For more information regarding this policy, see your current USCA bulletin. If you have a learning or physical disability which might affect your performance in this class, please inform me as soon as possible, and Mr. Randy Duckett, Associate Dean of Students for Admissions and Special Services, in order to verify your status and obtain appropriate assistance.
