6 General Policies

1. Classroom participation. Participation in scheduled classroom discussion sessions is an important part of

the learning experience. If you know in advance you will have to miss a class for a legitimate reason
(illness, IT Del delegation team participation, etc.), please contact the teaching assistant or me as soon as
possible (or promptly after the fact if an absence is unanticipated). In all cases, however, excused absences
will require appropriate written documentation to be provided. Failure to speak up and participate routinely
in classroom sessions may result in a lower grade.
2. Readings. Students are expected to have read all assigned reading materials before the class on which they
are due. Students are responsible for preparing the content of all readings (textbook and otherwise), as a
basis for classroom discussions, quizzes, tests, and exams.
3. Assignment due dates, late work, and incompletes. All assignments are due by the day and hour
indicated by the instructor (usually on the day when the assignment was given), and it is the students
responsibility to keep track of their assignments. Late or incomplete work will result in a lower grade.
4. Classroom conduct. As a courtesy to your classmates and instructor, all cellphones, smartphones, or
similar devices must be turned off or placed on silent during class time. Personal laptop or tablet computers,
and e-readers, are permitted in class only if placed on silent mode, and only for purposes of note-taking or
consulting readings during class sessions. If observed, inappropriate computer or other mobile device use
during class (gaming, texting, unrelated internet surfing) will result in an unexcused absence for that day.
