Course Requirements

Class Attendance

You are expected to attend class sessions.  Guest speakers, guest children, video presentations, in-class discussions and in-class activities will be an important part of the course.  In addition, material will be presented in class that is not directly covered in the text.  You are responsible for knowing any material that is covered in class.  If you miss a class, be sure to get notes from someone.

Grading

25%  5 short (2-3 page) written assignments
35% midterm
40% final

The final will only cover material presented in the second half of the course.

A separate handout describing the writing assignments will be distributed.

 

Absences from Exams

You are expected to be in attendance for exams.  You will not be excused from an exam unless you have a note from your Dean and/or a documented medical problem.  Vacation travel plans are not sufficient reason to miss an exam.

Students with Disabilities

Students with disabilities who will be taking this course and may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to make an appointment to see me as soon as possible. Also, stop by the Office of Disability Services in 105 Hewitt to register for support services, if you have not done so already.
