the course.
Use of English: In every paper, report or assignment, 5% of the grade will be set aside for the quality of written
English.

Expectations of the Students
Other Policies
Use of Electronic Devices: Cell phones (calls, text messaging, Internet connection, social networks,
etc.) are strictly forbidden in class. A student caught using or looking at a cell phone will be expelled
from class and be granted a zero if the cell phone is used during an evaluation. Cell phones must be
hidden and turned off. The same policy applies to computers, IPods, IPads and any other electronic
device.
Where there are differences between the IPESA and this course outline, the wording of the IPESA will prevail.
