There will be homework assignments posted on Canvas approximately weekly.
|
||
There are more practice problems available in the course notes.
|

Doing homework problems is the primary way that you will learn and internalize the material seen in class.

There will be in-class quizzes every other week (on Jan 20, Feb 3, Mar 10, Mar 24, and Apr 21).

Quizzes give you some practice in a test-like environment without the same grade pressure as a test.
|
||
The quizzes should be a signal to you about whether you're keeping up with the pace of the course.

Attendance is expected and will be recorded.

If you need to miss a class for some reason, it is your responsibility to get notes from another student for any material you've missed, and to arrange to turn in/make up any in-class or collected work.

<title>Attendance and Your Health</title>

|

<p>
|
||
To achieve course learning goals, students must attend and participate in classes, according to the course requirements.
|
||
However, if you have tested positive for or are experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness, you should not come to campus or attend in-person classes or activities.
|
||
It is the student’s responsibility to contact me to create a plan for participation and engagement in the course as soon as you are able to do so, and to make a plan to complete all assignments in a timely fashion.

<title>Expectations for Class Conduct</title>
|

|
||
<p>
|
||
It is important to foster a respectful and productive learning environment that includes all students in our diverse community of learners.
|
||
Our differences, some of which are outlined in the University's nondiscrimination statement, will add richness to this learning experience.
|
||
Therefore, all opinions and experiences, no matter how different or controversial they may be perceived, must be respected in the tolerant spirit of academic discourse.

<title>Disability Statement</title>
|

|

<p>
|
||
Any student who has a need for accommodations based on the impact of a documented disability or medical condition should contact Disability Resources and Services (DRS) in Howard Gittis Student Center South, Rm 420 (<url href="mailto:drs@temple.edu">drs@temple.edu</url>; 215-204-1280) to request accommodations and learn more about the resources available to you.
|
||
If you have a DRS accommodation letter to share with me, or you would like to discuss your accommodations, please contact me as soon as practical.
|
||
I will work with you and with DRS to coordinate reasonable accommodations for all students with documented disabilities.
|
||
All discussions related to your accommodations will be confidential.

<title>Add/Drop Policy</title>

Students will be charged for a course unless dropped by the Drop/Add deadline date.

Check the <url href="https://registrar.temple.edu/academic-calendar">University calendar</url> for exact dates.
|

</p>
|

|

<p>
|
||
During the Drop/Add period, students may drop a course with no record of the class appearing on their transcript.
|
||
Students are not financially responsible for any courses dropped during this period.
|
||
In the following weeks prior to or on the withdrawal date students may withdraw from a course with the grade of "W" appearing on their transcript.
|
||
After the withdrawal date students may not withdraw from courses.

<p>
|
||
The use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, etc.) is not permitted in this class unless specifically announced for a particular assignment; therefore, any use of AI tools for work in this class may be considered a violation of Temple University's Academic Honesty policy and Student Conduct Code, since the work is not your own.
|
||
The use of unauthorized AI tools will result in a grade of zero on the assignment; a second offense will be reported to the Student Conduct Board.

<title>Incomplete Grades</title>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
The grade "I" (an "incomplete") is only given if students cannot complete the course work due to circumstances beyond their control.
|
||
It is necessary for the student to have completed the majority of the course work with a passing average and to sign an incomplete contract which clearly states what is left for the student to do and the deadline by which the work must be completed.
|
||
The incomplete contract must also include a default grade that will be used in case the "I" grade is not resolved by the agreed deadline.
