The single greatest cause of failure in this class is poor attendance. I strongly recommended you attend every session as announcements are made and material is often presented that is not covered in the text.
I expect you to behave as a serious student. I do not in general expect serious students to arrive late for class, allow cell phones to ring, speak disrespectfully to the instructor and/or to other students, spend class time checking email, surfing the web, or use instant messaging, or treat the classroom as a cafeteria.
One of the pitfalls that students fall into in courses such as this one is falling behind. Since the course is cumulative and fast paced it can be very difficult to catch up. In addition, grading piles of late work near the end of the term imposes an undue burden on the instructor.
Do your own work. Plagiarism (which includes copying someone else's assignment or having someone else do your work) will result in having the possible points for the assignment in question deducted from your total score and a letter in your file. Repeat offenders will receive an F in the class.
McMurry University abides by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which stipulates that no otherwise qualified student shall be denied the benefits of an education “solely by reason of a handicap”. If you have a documented disability that may impact your performance in this class and for which you may require accommodations, you must be registered with and provide documentation of your disability to the Disability Services Office, located in Old Main, Room 102.
