Materials

Policies & Procedures

1. On-time attendance and participation is mandatory.  You must notify me prior to class and give a reason if you are unable to attend that day.  Classes missed without a valid excuse will result in a 20 point deduction from your overall grade.  Three consecutive missed classes are grounds for failure in the course.

2. Purchase the texts and read assignments before class.  Take notes of readings and bring books to class

3. Take notes during class lectures.  Students will be asked to share lecture notes and summarize main points of a class.  Study with other classmates.  Come to office hours for assistance..

4. Assignments are due at the beginning of class on scheduled dates.  Late papers will be marked down one grade or 10 points for each week late.  Assignments (usually based on readings) will be posted on the web.  All of these one-page or 400 word papers must by typed, double-spaced, 12 point font, spell-checked and grammar-checked.  

5. Exams are due at the beginning of class.  Late exams will be marked down one grade or 50 points for each week late.

6. Be respectful to your classmates and me.  Listen actively, pose thoughtful questions and responses, and do not interrupt.  Turn off pagers, cell phones, and other electronic devices.   Please follow ground rules for classroom discussion.

7. Plagiarism is a form of cheating or fraud; it occurs when a student misrepresents the work of another as his or her own. Plagiarism may consist of using the ideas, sentences, paragraphs, or the whole text of another without appropriate acknowledgment, but it also includes employing or allowing another person to write or substantially alter work that a student then submits as his or her own. Any assignment found to be plagiarized will be given an "F" grade. All instances of plagiarism will be reported to the Dean of the College, and may be reported to the University Judicial Affairs Officer for further action. SFSU has a Student Code of Conduct, available online at http://www.sfsu.edu/~helpdesk/docs/rules/conduct.htm
