The following policies apply to all of Dr. Leinberger's classes: 1) After reading the syllabus and before the end of week four, each student should send an e-mail to CHARLESL@UTEP.EDU acknowledging that the syllabus has been read and is understood. 2) Unexcused absences exceeding 20% (1 out of 5 class meetings) will prevent the student from receiving any extra help outside of class and may lower the student's final grade. Attendance will be taken within the first five minutes of class. If a student arrives to class after attendance has been taken, it is the student's responsibility to notify the instructor of their presence after class. Students arriving after attendance has been taken will receive half of the attendance points for that class meeting. Students attending a section in which they are not enrolled will receive no attendance points. 3) Late assignments may be submitted up to seven calendar days (168 hours) after the original due date for 50% of their original point value. After seven calendar days, late assignments may still be submitted, but for no point value. It is strongly suggested that students keep old assignments and quizzes until after final grades have been submitted. Old assignments, if not picked up by the student in class, will be placed in the tray on the instructor's office door. 4) Students are encouraged to work together on assignments, however, each student must submit written assignments in their own handwriting. Photocopied answers are not permitted. 5) Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. See "Student Conduct" from the Dean of Students for more information. 6) All electronic devises, including cellular telephones and pagers, must be turned off or in silent mode during class. Exceptions will be made for parents of small children and expectant fathers. 7) Students may not wear headphones of any kind during class. |
