Classroom Policies
Office Visits:
Students are encouraged to visit my office whenever and as often as they wish. Please do
not hesitate to stop by during office hours or to make an appointment.
Attendance:
At the college level, students are assumed to be mature enough to realize that missing
classes hurts their ability to successfully complete a class ( by this, I mean earning a
'B' or better).
Make-ups:
I do not allow make-up tests after the fact without proof of serious illness, etc.;
however, if you contact me before the test date with a significant problem, I will do my
best to accomodate you.
Late Papers/Assignments:
Assignments are to be turned in at the beginning of the class session in which they are
due (see syllabus for deadlines). Students are responsible for having assignments on the
professor's desk by the time class convenes, after which time they are considered late
and, if accepted, will be given less than full credit.
Cheating and Ethical Violations:
Students who cheat or otherwise engage in significant ethical violations can expect me to
pursue such matters to the full extent of my abilities, up to and including seeking
expulsion from ISU.
