Class attendance and participation (listening, questioning,
discussing, thinking, etc.) will be important to your success in this
course. Come to class and enjoy the opportunity to learn! If you must
be absent, you should obtain class notes from a fellow student, as material
outside the text or revisions to the scheduled homework assignments may
be presented during lectures. Examples similar to homework problems will
be worked in class as part of the lecture. You
are responsible for completing all assignments when due and for being
prepared to participate in each class session, even if you were absent
for the previous meeting.
We will make a seating chart during the
second session, to facilitate checking roll and to help me learn your
names more quickly. You WILL be formally graded on participation/attendance.
Your attendance and regular participation in class discussions
will directly affect your overall course grade. For example,
some information will be presented during lectures that is not available
from the text. You will be held responsible for this information on exams
and homework assignments.
You automatically begin the
semester with 25 points for attendance and class participation. You are
allowed two (2) absences. After these two absences, each time you miss
class, for ANY reason
(even University approved!), two (2) points will be deducted from your
grade. Please note that it is possible to LOSE MORE than 25 points
from your earned course grade if you do not attend ANY classes!
The attendance grade comprises a percentage
of your course grade! It
is YOUR responsibility to sign the seating chart EVERY DAY, as this is
the record I will use to record absences. If you do not
sign in, you will be considered to have been absent. This is NOT
an extra credit grade. The 25 points WILL be included in the required
points for the semester grade.
Being consistently
late for class is rude and is an extreme annoyance to the entire class.
Please make every effort to be on time!
I will be present and on time for you, and I will expect you to be present
and on time for me. Leaving class early is also a distraction to the entire
class, as well as being very rude to your instructor. Please plan to stay
for the entire session unless you have a dire emergency. If you
must be late for class, enter very quietly and take your seat with as
little disruption of the class as possible. See me after class
to sign the seating chart, so that you are counted present for the day.
If you are unable to complete this course,
you must officially withdraw from it by the final drop date (see assignment
calendar for exact date). My policy is to permit you to see the results
of Exam II before making the drop decision. If you think you must withdraw
from this course, please talk with me about it first. I will permit you
to receive a "Q" or "W" if you drop or withdraw by
the final drop date, at my discretion. However, if I do not feel
that you have made an honest effort to pass the course, based on your
attendance and homework/quiz participation, you will receive the grade
you have earned, which will probably be an "F." Remember, I
as your instructor cannot withdraw you from the course for lack of attendance
. . . only you can do that. If you stop attending class and do not withdraw,
you will receive a performance grade, usually an "F".
I seldom miss class unannounced, but in
the event that I must miss a session, a note will be posted on the ACCT
2302 homepage if I know in advance that
a session will be cancelled. I will also e-mail you at your my.lamar.edu
address. The scheduled assignments will still
be due for the following class period unless you are otherwise notified.
