Withdrawal from Classes
Policy:
Please
see the Degree Completion Program’s Student Handbook for withdrawal
policy. All withdrawals are completed
through the Degree Completion Academic Advisor’s office.
Class Policy on Attendance: This class begins promptly at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday
evenings. During the lab sessions, you
will meet with students from 4:15 – 5:45 p.m., there is a break, and then the
lecture session will begin. Class
attendance is extremely important and attendance is taken at each session. Because this is a methods class, it is
difficult to make up a missed class.
Therefore, a ten point
deduction will be taken for every class missed after the first time. A five point deduction will be made for
those students who leave early or come more than fifteen minutes late.
Class Policy For
Assignments: All
assignments must be typed. Punctuation, grammar, and
spelling will be counted towards every grade.
If you know that you are going to
have a problem attending a class or doing an assignment, please discuss this
with the instructor at least 24 hours prior to the beginning of class time. Legitimate problems will be handled on an
individual basis. Assignments will be
returned as soon as possible. If you
have a question about the grading of an assignment, please bring it to my
attention of the instructor at that time. Once a final grade is calculated and turned in to the registrar, it
will not be changed. If you do not take the midterm or final
exam, or it is not turned in the day it is due by 7:00 p.m. an automatic final
grade of “F” will be given. NO
exceptions.
