COURSE RULES:
Attendance and Participation:
It is academically understood that there is a direct relationship between classroom
attendance and grade performance, and since much of this class involves discussion and
active participation, you are expected to attend every class. Attendance will be taken at
each class and attendance and participation is a part of your grade. If you must miss
class due to illness or emegency, you must contact your lecturer prior to the class
period.

Promptness:
Because late arrivers disrupt the class and interfere with the learning process for
everyone, you are expected to be at class on time. It is unfair and disrespectful to the
lecturer and other students to disrupt the learning environment. Arriving late will
interfere with your ability to earn points for participation.

Preparedness:
You are expected to have completed reading prior to class and should bring your books
to each class session. If you haven’t read the material, neither you nor the class will
benefit as much from the discussion.

Respect:
You will be exposed to a variety of viewpoints, values and opinions in college and
throughout life that will differ from your own. We would like all students to feel
comfortable expressing their viewpoints and concerns. You are an important part of
creating an atmosphere that will make that possible.

Academic Integrity:
Your lecturer and fellow students expect you to make honest choices and act with
integrity and honor. If you choose to cheat in this class or others, or to take credit for
work that isn’t yours, you run the risk of being caught and facing serious consequences
(university policy follows).

Computer and cell-phone use in class:

Cell-phone use including texting in class is not permitted under any circumstances. If
you wish to use a laptop in class to take notes, you must be sitting in the front row.

Missed classes:
Due to possible emergencies like meetings that the lecturer has to attend or due to
illness or other emrgencies for students and lecturer, the missed classes will be made up
in other times based on mutual agreement between the class and the lecturer. Tolerance
for emergencies will be given to class not more than 10% of all meetings.
A note on plagiarism:
Plagiarism is the use of someone else’s work or ideas without acknowledging them as
the source. The work unfairly used could be in written form (print or electronic,
published or unpublished) or in spoken form (public or private). As with any other
form of cheating, plagiarism is seen as a serious violation of academic ethics; therefore,
any student who has plagiarized is liable to to be penalized severely (National education
and university policy follows).
