Group project participation Requires your participation There will be scheduled

time for you to work on these

Redo policy

If you get less than a 60% grade on an assignment (or if I feel you could add more or misunderstood something) you’ll get the assignment back to modify/redo.

If you get a low score on a quiz or test you can call or email me to request a booster document.

Academic honesty

Your work should be written by you. Plagiarism is when you copy without

giving credit to the original author. Citing sources at the end of a paper

is not the same as giving credit. Let’s look at a site together:

On average you will spend 5-8 hours on this course every week
