DROPPING
THE CLASS/ATTENDANCE:
It is the student's responsibility to officially withdraw (drop) from the class. Students who no longer attend class but do not withdraw will receive a failing grade ("F") at the end of the semester. Attendance is not part of the course grade, but students are expected to attend all class meetings. Students who do not attend the first class sessions, or who miss any two class sessions (6 or more classroom hours) may be dropped from the course by the instructor. Detailed attendance policy is maintained online.
REGRADING POLICY:
Sometimes you get a grade that you
don't like, usually for one of the following reasons:
1.
There was a clerical error (i.e., the points were added up wrong).
2.
You think you did something right, and I think you did it wrong.
If you discover a clerical error, tell
me immediately. The following Statute of Limitations will apply:
You have one week from the day any
graded assignment or test is returned to you to appeal the grade you received.
After one week, I will assume that you believe the grade you got is the correct
one. After one week, grades are unchangeable, fixed, and permanent.
Students with
disabilities are
entitled to appropriate accommodations.
If you have specific disabilities requiring accommodations, let your
instructor know the first 10 days of the semester so that your learning needs
may be met and for referral to the Special Services office where documentation
of your disability will be provided to receive services and
