IMPORTANT POLICIES
1. Expectations. I expect a class atmosphere of respect for your fellow human beings as we travel this
road together. I also expect a class atmosphere of critical thought and your best efforts. Please come
prepared to participate.
2. Readings: You are expected to read the assigned materials before the class/period. This helps you
grasp the material more fully and creates a better classroom environment.
3. Attendance: Your attendance in class is critical to fulfillment of course objectives. You will not be
eligible to appear in the exam if you cross six absences. Late coming, even for five minutes, would
strictly be marked as absent.
4. Due dates: No late work will be accepted. Assignments are due at the start of class. Presentations
cannot be made up. This is the real world. When speakers accept speaking assignments, they are
obligated to be ready to speak on that date at that time. If you are not prepared to speak, you receive a
zero on that presentation. Talk to me in advance if there are problems.
5. Plagiarism and cheating: Plagiarism is defined by Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary as:
a. To steal or pass off the ideas or words of another as one's own.
b. To use a created production without using the references.
In your writing and speaking I expect the ideas you express to be your own and to properly cite the
sources you use. Cheating will not be tolerated in any form.
6. Study and preparation: Allow yourself enough time for thoughtful, unhurried reading of the
materials. Reading to "beat the clock" and complete the materials in time for class is useless. Read
with an open but not empty mind to understand and evaluate class ideas. Please make the time to
prepare for discussion ahead of time. Your lack of preparedness will be painfully obvious to you and
the class, so save yourself from the embarrassment and poor grade.
7. Discussion: Since, discussion is vital to the learning process and I want to hear your input in class.
Therefore, interactive sessions would be used rather than talking from one end and listening at the
other.
8. Help: If you are having trouble in the course please come by the Office located in Block-III Room#
2015 First Floor. I want to help you improve all of your skills.
