General course guidelines Attend class every week. Working individually with students during office hours is normal but
reserving that time for those who really need help rather than those who simply missed a class is
preferred.
If you are ill or have an unavoidable conflict, please email to let me know ahead of time.
Participate in class discussions. Join in the conversation and listen carefully to your classmates.
Make every attempt to turn work in on time. Let me know if technical difficulties are interfering
with your timeline and I will try to help you get back on track. Consistently back up, make copies and otherwise keep track of your work; loss of an assignment
is normally not accepted as an excuse for not turning it in.
If there are any problems talk to me! In class, after, or make an appointment by e-mail.
