promptness is appreciated and noted. A student can not earn a full participation grade if he has 8 unexcused
absences. More than eight unexcused absences will result in failing this course.

will not be tolerated and the result is the failure in this course. All the work students do for this course is expected to
be their own. Classroom conduct is to be professional, courteous and supportive. All cell phones and other
equipment are to be turned off in the auditorium. Disruptive behavior will reduce the grade by 10 % (Component 2).
