Class participation is highly encouraged. Participation means arriving to class on time and leaving after class is over, attending class lectures consistently, and being respectful of the classroom and your fellow students. If I observe you struggling with your participation, I will ask to meet with you to discuss ways to improve it.



Homework
Homework will be assigned every Thursday. Each week unless stated otherwise, I will randomly select a homework section to collect. Please make sure to bring all of your homework to class so that you will be prepared to turn in any section I ask for. I do not accept late homework; however, I will drop one assignment. If you have questions on the homework, please utilize the resources available to you (i.e. skills center, office hours).





Quizzes
There will be quizzes throughout the semester.I do not allow makeup quizzes, but I will drop one quiz. If you usually take tests/quizzes in the DSPS office, please inform the class session before the quiz so that I can send the quiz over to the office.

Exams
There will be an exam at the end of each chapter . The exams are comprehensive, so please let me know if you don’t understand something before the test, as I want you to do well. There are no makeup exams. I will replace the lowest exam score with the second to lowest exam score at the end of the semester.

Final Exam (Wednesday July. 22nd.)
There is one final exam. You must take this exam. No final exam = no passing grade. The final exam is also comprehensive.
