Academic Honesty

Honesty is essential to the academic process. Cheating and plagiarism are grounds for a failing grade in this course. If you make use of someone else’s ideas in an assignment, you must cite the source of those ideas. For questions regarding the university’s policies on academic honesty please see http://www.msu.edu/unit/ombud/honesty.html.

Special Needs

If you need course adaptations or accommodation in the classroom because of a disability, or if you have medical information to share with me, please make an appointment to see me as soon as possible. Students with disabilities should contact the Resource Center for People with Disabilities [353-9642 or 355-1293(TTY)] at the beginning of the semester.

E-Mail

I urge you to send comments, questions, and concerns via email at susse@msu.edu. I will try my best to respond promptly (within a day or two).

Classroom Etiquette

· Please refrain from speaking in class unless first acknowledged by me.  Classroom conversations with your peers are disruptive to the rest of the class. 

• Please do not arrive late to class or leave early. Not only is it disruptive to the class, but in doing so you are bound to miss important announcements and material. If you must leave early for some important reason, please sit near the door.
• Please remember to turn your cell phones off during class time (I’ll try to remember too).
