Class participation and hence attendance (on face-to-face class dates) is an important component of the course.
It is your responsibility to obtain notes, assignments and other information from a classmate if you are absent from class, not from me via e-mail. After obtaining notes from a classmate and reviewing them, come see me with any questions you may have.
Homework assignments will often require the computer (SPSS).
All written turn-in assignments must be completed in pencil or typed from the computer. NO INK PLEASE! All solutions must be accompanied by clearly written interpretations and conclusions in complete sentences. Note: Some assignments will be brought to class while others will be uploaded to Canvas or sent via email.
There will be no late homework and no makeup quizzes.
All cell phones should be turned OFF during face-to-face class time. NO TEXT MESSAGING!!! Cell phones are not to be used as calculators for in class assignments and quizzes.
A scientific or graphing calculator is needed. Sharing of calculators on in-class quizzes and tests will not be permitted.
Homework:
Homework problems will often be assigned.
Some of these will be collected while others are for practice and for your
benefit. They will help prepare you for quizzes and tests. You may
work with others on problems that are not to be collected for a grade.
These may also be discussed in class if there are questions. Other homework and small
computer assignments will be collected for a grade. Assignments
collected for grades are to be completed independently.
Cases of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean
of Student's Office and will go into your file. Please read the campus
policy.
Quizzes:
Quizzes will be given throughout the semester both online and in class. Some of these will be announced and others will not. There will be no make up quizzes.
