Course Policies -
|
|
ATTENDANCE: Lecture attendance is required.
You are responsible for any announcements and subject matter covered
during class. According to the AUM Undergraduate Catalog “Students are
expected to attend punctually every lecture, laboratory exercise, and
other classroom activity.” Exception:
see Bad Weather Policy.
|
|
LATE ARRIVALS:
Be on time. If you
must arrive late, enter as unobtrusively as possible and use a seat
behind others. Students
who arrive on time should leave the seats closet to the door open for
those that must arrive late.
|
|
COURSE ETIQUETTE:
Please be thoughtful and considerate of others.
When the class period begins, be ready to work.
Please limit your talking to very occasional, brief remarks only
about the course subject to someone next to you.
Do not use lecture time as a social occasion to catch up with
what your friends have been doing or to clown around.
This type of behavior is distracting and rude to those who are
serious about the course. Don't
be reluctant to ask questions. Please
be respectful of the questions of your classmates.
Turn off your watch alarms during the class period. Cellular
phones, pagers, and other electronic devices cannot be used
during class without permission of the instructor obtained prior
to a specific class period. Permission
would be granted only on a class-to-class basis for exceptional or
emergency circumstances. Audio recorders can be used if they are
unobtrusive.
|
|
MISSED EXAMS: Make-up exams are given
at the instructor’s discretion and BEFORE the next class period
following the exam. Make-up
exams will be predominantly essay style.
No make-up Final Exams will be given! Exception:
See bad weather policy.
|
|
BAD WEATHER POLICY: If we have
dangerous weather conditions, check with AUM before driving to school.
I will attempt to post any canceled classes due to inclement weather on
the course calendar of the web site and/or leave a message on my voice
mail. If you are traveling to AUM from a long distance away, use
your best judgment.
|
|
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY (from the AUM Catalog):
Students are expected to maintain academic integrity in all work pursued
at Auburn University Montgomery. Students should not condone
violations of academic integrity and should act in a manner to prevent
opportunities for violations.
|
|
REGISTRATION & WITHDRAWAL:
You must be officially registered to receive credit
for the course. Withdrawal
policy is determined by University regulations.
Note that a student must withdraw formally from a course to
avoid a grade of F and that the withdrawal procedures has a deadline of
5:00 P.M., Friday, March 15, 2002.
