It is your responsibility to get your exams done on time! Make-up exams will not be given. 2. Papers and assignments are not accepted by e-mail. All papers must be submitted through Learn. 3. No extra points can be added at the end of the semester. Take care to avoid “close calls” (i.e. missing a higher grade by two points) by studying hard all semester. If you do poorly on an assignment or exam, contact the instructor as soon as possible for additional help. 4. Incompletes in the course will not be given without a very good excuse. Incompletes are at the complete discretion of the instructor and are extremely rare. You must have the permission of the instructor in advance (before the last day of class, at least). 5. Grades. I only calculate grades at the end of the semester. Please do not ask me to calculate your grade prior to the end of the semester. 6. Attendance: Your failure to attend class (face to face or hybrid), engage course material (Online only); or make contact with faculty to adequately explain your absence by the 10 th class calendar day of the semester will result in your being administratively dropped from this course. Being dropped from this course may affect your enrollment status and/or your financial aid eligibility. 7. Student Problems/Issues/Emergencies. In the case of a true emergency (ie, you had an emergency appendectomy), you should contact me as soon as is reasonably possible. You may be asked to provide documentation of any problems, issues, or emergencies. In the case of other problems/issues (ie, your grandmother dies), you must contact me immediately if you plan to miss any work. You will not be allowed to make up work if you contact me after the assignment was due in the case of non-life-threatening issues.
