Please read and understand this very carefully. Your instructor this quarter will be providing you with audio (PODCASTS) of his daily lectures. The posted lectures are NOT being given to you to keep you from attending class. They are a tool/resource for you to use to better enable you to master the material of this course. Again, they are NOT a substitute for your coming to class. Hence, according to the Sullivan University Policy manual, I will deem you to be "Inactive" after 8 absences and you will be removed from the class roster, no questions asked. You will need to provide VERIFIABLE notes from Doctors, employers, etc for sickness or work related absences.

- Your grade in this course will be made up of FIVE(5) exams, a research project and homework assignments. You will be allowed to drop your lowest score on the 5 exams. You will NOT be able to drop your score on the final exam. THERE WILL BE NO MAKEUP EXAMS GIVEN. NO EXEPTIONS.
- Classroom discussions, case studies, and in-class activities will be of major importance, as they will help tie theory to practice. Students are expected to be actively engaged in the class, in order to pass it, you must attend and contribute to it. To prepare for the in-class work, reading of textbook chapters and assignments must be accomplished prior to class.

- All lab assignments will be introduced during class and will have a specific due date. They will be due at the beginning of the class meeting on the due date. All assignments are to be submitted through e-mail attachments unless otherwise stated. Late assignments will not be accepted. Absence from class does not excuse late assignments.
- The student is responsible for keeping backup copies of all lab assignments. This is to protect the student from having to recreate a lab assignment due to the loss of the lab assignment through e-mail or other problems that may arise.
- I have no objection to students helping other students on lab assignments. In fact it is encouraged. However, work turned in by the student should be his/her own work. If you do assignments together, you must clearly indicate that you worked together. Otherwise, this is cheating and will be treated as such and the offending student will be subject to University disciplinary action.
- Students must take responsibility for their own actions. If you are having trouble completing assignments, please tell me immediately. Please do not wait until the day work is due to tell me you had problems understanding it or getting started. Getting behind is a sure way to be unsuccessful in this course. The material continually builds on itself. Once you are behind, you will get further behind exponentially.
