Class Policies

KEEP IT FRAGRANCE FREE. Many people are allergic to the scents found in perfume and body care products. Please make the classroom a space where all can breathe without breathing in these chemical toxins.

UNPLUG – TURN IT OFF. Turn off all cellphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices before coming into the classroom. You will be given two breaks during each class, at which point you may exit the classroom to check for messages if you need to do so.

PLAN AHEAD. Readings are to be completed prior to the class indicated on the syllabus.

BE ORIGINAL (Academic Dishonesty and Misconduct Policy).
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology follows SFU policy in relation to grading practices, grade appeals (Policy T 20.01) and academic dishonesty and misconduct procedures (S10.01‐ S10.04). Unless otherwise informed by your instructor in writing, in graded written assignments you must cite the sources you rely on and include a bibliography/list of references, following an instructor-approved citation style. It is the responsibility of students to inform themselves of the content of SFU policies available on the SFU website: http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student.html.  

IF YOU’RE SICK (CONTAGIOUS), STAY HOME. I will support you in catching up with what you missed. No medical documentation required.

Grading: Where a final exam is scheduled and the student does not write the exam or withdraw from the course before the deadline date, an N grade will be assigned. Unless otherwise specified on the course syllabus, all graded assignments for this course must be completed for a final grade other than N to be assigned. An N is considered as an F for the purposes of scholastic standing.

Grading System: The Undergraduate Course Grading System is as follows:

A+ (95-100) | A (90-94) | A- (85-89) | B+ (80-84) | B (75-79) | B- (70-74) | C+ (65-69) | C (60-64) | C- (55-59) | D (50-54) | F (0-49) | N*
*N standing to indicate the student did not complete course requirements
