Attendance

Since discussion is a crucial part of this course, attendance is mandatory. Please be aware that more than two unexcused absences will result in a full letter grade deduction from your grade for "contributions to the seminar" for each additional absence since without your presence in the seminar, I cannot assess your performance on this assignment. If you miss more than once because of a chronic medical problem that arises during the course of the semester, you should contact me confidentially right away. All absences in case of medical or personal emergency must be documented to my satisfaction.

Classroom Civility

I expect everyone to treat other members of this course with respect, just as you have the right to expect the same from me. As part of that respect, please refrain from distracting activities during class, which include interrupting your classmates during discussion, or using cell phones or laptop computers for personal instead of course-related business.

Honor Code

The Honor Code covers all work performed in this class, and all suspected cases of plagiarism and intellectual dishonesty will be reported to the Honor Council. If you are unclear at any time about what constitutes an Honor Code violation in this course, it is your responsibility to clarify the issue with me before any ambiguous case arises. Please take the time to read the Honor Council’s explanation of what constitutes plagiarism and intellectual dishonesty; don’t assume you know the definitions of those terms until you read the Honor System Handbook carefully.
