What I expect from you

1. You will be committed to learn. You are not required to attend class (except for examinations, quizzes and if presentations are being made by other students), but I assume that you will be there unless I am told otherwise. You are responsible for all material disseminated during the class period and for any additional assignments made during this time. To aid in your learning, I expect you to thoroughly review class material on a daily basis and to utilize the resources made available to you.

2. You will ask questions. I appreciate and encourage you to ask questions before, during and after class. Also, take advantage of my office hours and do not hesitate to speak with me whenever you may see me in the halls or in my office.

3. You will make me aware of your needs. If you have problems to understand the material or cannot keep up with the requirements, it is your responsibility to make me aware of these situations prior to the examination. If you have a disability that affects your capacity to fully participate in class or to meet all course requirements, you are encouraged to bring this to my attention so that appropriate accommodations can be arranged. Further information is available from Disability Services.

4. You will make me aware of problems. If you feel there are any discrepancies in the grading procedure, it is your responsibility to make me aware of them within one week of identifying the situation.

5. You will provide me your own ideas. Scholastic misconduct is broadly defined as any act which violates the rights of another student in academic work or that involves misrepresentation of your own work. Scholastic dishonestly includes, but is not limited to: cheating on assignments or examinations; plagiarizing (which means misrepresenting as your own, any work any part of work done by another); submitting without all instructors' approval the same paper, or substantially similar papers, to meet the requirements of more than one course; depriving another student of necessary course material or interfering with another student's work.
