Grades and Policies

ATTENDANCE
This is a class that depends on your being there. Your participation, readings responses, and quizzes cannot be made up. Therefore, you must be in class. You are allowed three absences. No excuses. No penalties. After three absences, your grade will be dropped a letter per absence; you will be dropped from the course with a WF after six absences. Excessive tardiness will also impact reading response averages and accumulation of absences.

FINAL GRADES will be based on the following scale:
A=90-100
B=80-89
C=70-79
D=60-69
F=GRADES BELOW 59

WRITING CENTER
The Writing Center located in 109 Gamble Hall can be a good resource for revising your essays if you would like a little extra help with your writing. It is a free service. Please consider taking advantage of it.

PLAGIARISM
All students at AASU must agree to abide by the Honor Code and Code of Conduct found in the appendix to the catalog.

Cite any sources you use at any time in this class whether you are quoting directly or paraphrasing. See me or consult the Armstrong State University Handbook if you are ever uncertain about the issue. Plagiarism will not be tolerated.
