NOTES:

Participation
Active participation is expected in this course. Class discussions and activities are used to reinforce course content and to explore the materials covered from different theoretical or methodological perspectives. Although participation is ungraded, students who come to class prepared to discuss the weekly readings and participate in class activities are most likely to succeed in this course. Submitting Assignments / Late Policy Instructions for submitting assignments can be found on each assignment’s handout. Assignments are always due before class on the date it is due. Assignments handed in after this will be subjected to a 10% per day penalty.  

Grade Deferrals / Assignment Extensions
Deferred grades for quizzes and exams will be given only on the basis of authenticated medical disability. Assignment extensions must be discussed in advance and will only be granted in cases of authenticated medical disability, bereavement, or other unavoidable extenuating circumstances.

Classroom Conduct
Mobile and electronic devices should be turned off and put away during class. Laptops and tablets for note-taking only are acceptable with the sound turned off. If you are found to be using a laptop or tablet in class for purposes other than note-taking you will be asked to remove the device from the classroom and will no longer be welcomed to bring it to class. 

Students may not record any lecture or classroom activity without express written consent.
