Groundrules, Expectations:
All students are expected to attend class regularly, take lecture notes and fulfill the reading
assignments. Have a question? Ask it rather than suffer in silence. Failure to do so will
jeopardize your ability to get the most out of this course. In addition, 1) Technology usage: All
digital devices, e.g. cell phones & laptops, must be turned off & stored away when class begins.
2) On attendance: regardless of the reason, more than 4 absences will reduce your participation
grade. 3) On lateness: if you arrive more than 5 minutes late for class, please take a seat quietly
at the rear of the classroom to minimize disruption to others. Assignments submitted late will be
penalized for lateness. 4) On makeup exams: these are given only in cases in which personal
illness or another such emergency prevented you from taking a scheduled exam. You must notify
me promptly and provide documentation before the make-up can be arranged. 5) On academic
2
dishonesty: students who violate UAB's Academic Code of Conduct by cheating on an exam
(e.g. using a smart phone during the exam period) or other assignment will receive an automatic
“F.” See the on-line Catalog of Undergraduate Programs for details. 6) Re. disability
accommodations: even if you are already registered with Disability Support Services, you must
see me to discuss the accommodation needed, ideally within the first 2 weeks of the semester.
