GUIDELINES 1.
Participation: Your participation in HEV 371 is
important, and it will count toward your final point score. You are encouraged to share items of
interest with the rest of the class.
Attendance at every class is expected, and periodic attendance records
will be taken. If you miss or are late
for a class, you will probably miss valuable introductory announcements, as
well as information that will be necessary to your understanding of future
lessons. Minute papers will be used to
assess your participation. Minute
papers are short unannounced quizzes covering items that we have discussed in
class. If you know that you will have
to miss a class or an exam for an important reason, please discuss this with
me as soon as possible 2.
Work Required: I urge you to be very serious about the
attendance and study commitment that you must give in order to do well. The common guideline for amount of study
time required for a particular course is two hours of work for every hour of
class. 3.
Academic Honesty: Academic
honesty is expected at all times in all tests and reports. Written or other work that a student
submits in a course shall be the product of his/her own efforts. Your individual work is expected at all
times in all tests and reports. The
work that you submit must not be submitted for credit in another course. Plagiarism, cheating, and all other forms of
academic dishonesty are prohibited.
Students are expected to adhere to the ethical and professional
standards associated with their programs and academic courses. Violations are subject to serious academic
penalties. Copies of the Policy on
Academic Integrity may be accessed at www.cmich.edu 5.
Reading: You are responsible for all of the
readings which are assigned. A MAXIMUM
OF TWENTY PERCENT OF EXAM QUESTIONS WILL BE ASKED DIRECTLY FROM TEXTBOOK
READINGS.
We will have three announced hour exams
and one final exam. Each exam will
cover all lecture material since the last exam. You are expected to take each hour exam on
the scheduled day. In order to be fair
to all students, makeup quizzes and exams require an official written
university excuse -- as in the case of a serious illness or death in the
family. If you know that you will have
to miss a class or an exam for an important reason, please discuss this with
me as soon as possible.
7.
Assignments: Ten percent of the grade per day will
be deducted for late assignments, unless special prior arrangements have been
made with the instructor. Assignments must be typewritten unless
instructed otherwise. Papers must be
stapled in the upper left corner. Late
papers must not be left under the door in the office, since they could easily
be lost. Late papers must be checked
in directly to the secretary in the Human Environmental Studies Office,
Wightman 205, during business hours. EXAMS AND GRADING 1st
