Time: Any class involving computer software and hardware is time intensive. You must start assignments early and work steadily to be successful. You should expect to spend at least two to three quality hours outside of class for each hour in class in order to be successful.
Grading errors: I’m only human. I can and will make mistakes. You have one week after graded material is returned to the class to rectify any grading errors or to argue for additional credit. After the week has passed, no changes in grades will be made.
Class Attendance and Participation: As a college student, you have the freedom to choose whether or not to attend class. However, I use cooperative, active learning techniques, which can only work if students attend regularly. Therefore, I will take attendance.
Office hours: I expect you to meet with me outside of class time to
discuss problems or difficulties that you are having. My office policy is an
"open door" policy: if the office door is open, you are welcome to
come in and discuss problems. If my office door is closed, you should assume
that I am not available. My schedule is posted
Office hours are
by appointment. (email me. Don’t leave messages on my
office phone: I don’t receive them.)
