Policies and Standards

Special Needs Statement: Students requiring classroom accommodations or modifications because of a documented disability should discuss this need with the professor at the beginning of the semester.

Assignments are to be completed on the dates specified by your instructor. One letter grade is deducted for assignments turned in late out of respect for the majority of students who submit work on time. An incomplete (INC) grade at the end of the course is not a student option--it is given only at the discretion of the instructor.

This course will be supplemented with print and web-based instructional materials.  Consequently, this course requires that students participate in web-based activities, discussion and lab on a regular basis.
