1.
Daily attendance and on-time arrival. We will cover a vast mount of material and it

you will be asked to withdraw from the course in accordance with the Arts &

experiencing an emergency situation that prevents you from turning in your
work, it is your responsibility to notify me ASAP to make an alternate

organized with great attention paid to workmanship and details. Points will be
deducted
for messiness.

know if you are having trouble understanding a
concept or assignment. Any students struggling with this course
should see me as soon as possible for a little extra help. This includes anyone having difficulty
reading, writing or understanding English and anyone who has additional
questions not answered in class. I am
happy to help you as much as possible, so please feel free to ask me for help
if you need it.

and pagers during class.
