General Class Obligations
A. E-mailing.
Due to the amount of 'SPAM' we all get, you must place the name of the class as the subject of every e-mail.
Online Classes
101W = Online class
* Do not use 'Earth 101W' or 'Q1 for 101W'. It is OK to put something AFTER the 101W but NEVER before it!! OK to use '101W assignment 1' or '101W Q2'.You may have to change the subject BEFORE you reply to me.
* There is a one week 'free grace period' for errors, week 2 = -5 points per e-mail,
week 3 and on = -10 points per e-mail. You will see these negative points under e-mail in your extra credit.
B. Class Participation via Open Discussions
Good manners are important in a large class.
* When using the 'Open Discussion' forum, be courteous and do not attack another student.
* When critiquing another student, use the third person. Say the author said... NOT Bill Miller said.
Keep it formal.
C. Assignments
*Make sure you submit your name and the class code (101W) on all assignments.
* Working together will be covered on the next page.
* Students cheating on any assignment/quiz/ will receive a zero for that assignment.
A second occurrence will result in a 'F' for the course.
Students found cheating on an Exam will receive an F for the course.
D. Contesting an assigned grade
* You have one week after an assignment is completed or a grade sheet is sent to discuss problems regarding that information. Otherwise, the information stands as being correct.
E. Adding / dropping a class.
* DROP/ADD IS A STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY!
I will not tolerate a student who does not participate actively in a class.
Some students secure a class just to keep eligibility for some type
of scholarship or award. This student will be dropped by the instructor.
