Other

1. If you miss a test for a valid reason, the score on the final exam will be used to fill in for the missed test. It is important that you provide me in writing the reason for missing the test. If you miss more than one test, a score of zero will be recorded for the second, third or the fourth missed test. There will be no make-up exams given in this course.
    
2. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to get notes from a fellow friend and complete the homework. It is a good idea to exchange phone numbers and/or e-mail addresses with a couple of students in the class.
    
3. Please turn off your cell phones and pagers prior to coming to class.
   


4. Attendance is expected for every scheduled class meeting. You are expected to come on time and stay for the full class period. A student who misses more than 20% of the class meetings is subject to receiving a failing grade in the course. Also, you need to be an active participant in class discussions.
   


5. Homework assignments must be turned in at the beginning of the class on the due date. Late assignments will not be accepted and will receive a grade of  ZERO. If you know that you will be absent from the class on the date an assignment is due, turn in your assignment earlier or ask someone to turn in your work for you.
   


6. Please bring a calculator, textbook, papers, and pencils to every class meeting.
    
7. You are allowed to use the TI-83 or an equivalent calculator on homework, tests, and the final examination. Please make sure that you don't have any formulas stored on the calculator when you are using it during an examination. If you have questions about this matter, see me before the first exam.  Your calculator is subject to inspection by me during any test or final examination.  
   


8. Cheating on tests and/or final examination can result in total dismissal from VSU. Note that any talking during tests will be considered a form of cheating.
   


9. Students requesting classroom accommodations or modifications because of a documented disability should discuss this need with me at the beginning of the semester. For additional information, please contact the Access Office for Students with Disabilities. The Access Office is located in Farber Hall and the phone number is 245-2498.

Timeline for the course

The Student Success Center:
The Student Success Center is located in Langdale Hall. The main area of the office is on
the mezzanine level, above the Tech Shop.  Any student who is enrolled in a class at VSU
can use it and there is no charge to the student. In addition to peer tutoring, the center
has computers and copies of the instructor's solution manual. The center is a good place to study;
there is always someone in the center to answer your questions.  I strongly encourage you to use
the center. The phone number of the center is 333-7570.

Dr. Chere Peguesse, a faculty member in the Department of English, is the Director of the center. 
Please feel free to see her if you have any suggestions/comments/complains about the center.
