Grading Scale:

Attendance and Participation:

Please attend each class period and participate frequently (and conspicuously) in class discussions. For the college's policy governing student attendance, see Section IV.B of the MWSC Policy Guide.

Late Work:

I do not give credit for work that is turned in late unless you have an acceptable excuse. I may ask you to provide documentation of your excuse. If you need an extension on an assignment, please ask me at least a day in advance. Quizzes cannot be made up for any reason; however, I will drop at least one of your quiz scores.

Academic Honesty:

Please do not cheat in any way. Please do not submit an assignment that in whole or part has been written by someone else unless you use proper documentation. Do not recycle papers or work from a previous course. Accidental plagiarism will result in a zero on the assignment in question; intentional plagiarism, or any other form of cheating, will result in an F in the course. Be sure to read the following documents before the second class period. They are posted on the Web site for ENG 341 Shakespeare, but they also apply to this class.
