Evaluation:

Students are expected to do their own work on all class assignments and examinations. Any student that violates this rule may be given a failing grade in the class. Attendance is very important and will have a bearing on your final grade. After the census date, attendance will no longer be taken. Students are responsible for dropping the course after that date. Students are expected to take all quizzes and exams on the dates scheduled and turn in assignments on the dates due.
