right arrowCourse Requirements


Attendance is required and necessary since this is a participation-oriented class. More than four absences are grounds for failure. There will be times in the semester when you really need the days off, so don't miss class without good reason.

If you know you are going to miss a class, let me know. You are responsible for finding out what you missed and what assignments are due for the next class. If you miss a class, FIRST, ask your classmates, then feel free to ask me. Missed assignments will not be excused because of absences. Athletes: any special arrangements for athletes must be made with the professor at least two week prior to the event.

Do not come late to class. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late, for any reason, you will be marked as absent. Likewise for leaving class early. Also, if you are tardy three times, you will receive an absent. Late attendance and absences will affect your participation grade. If you miss more than four classes, you will not receive an "A" for your participation grade.

 

You are expected to be prepared for every class. This means completing all reading and writing assignments on time. Failure to do so will greatly affect your participation grade.

right arrowDrafts, Revisions and Final Papers

All work must be typed or produced on a word processor. Every article should be titled and dated. Follow the manuscript formation instructions in the AP Handbook. You will lose a substantial portion of your grade for improper format—the same goes for improper grammar, punctuation and spelling. Deadlines are taken very seriously (it's the profession). You will receive 0 credit for articles turned in after the deadline.

right arrowReading/Writing Center

The Writing Center, located in 109 Gamble, can be looked on as an extension of any writing classroom. I encourage you to take advantage of this free service whenever you are writing a paper or trying to revise one. Drop in or call 344-3072 for an appointment.

right arrow Honor Code

All students at Armstrong Atlantic State University must agree to abide by the Honor Code and Code of Conduct. Under all circumstances, students are expected to be honest in their dealings with faculty, administrative staff, and fellow students. Students must submit work that fairly and accurately reflects their level of accomplishment. Any work that is not a product of the student's own effort is considered dishonest. Honor Code violations can lead to failure in a course, student suspension or expulsion from the institution.
