Classroom Etiquette: Students must arrive on time to class and must stay until the end of class.  If you have a specific problem with this, you should let me know.

Attendance Policy: Students are allowed no more than 5 absences, including both excused and unexcused absences. On the sixth absence a student may be withdrawn from the course with a grade of W or WF (definitely WF after midpoint). Do not regard these 5 allowed absences as "personal free days." These are only to be used in cases of illnesses or family emergencies. In some cases, verification may be required.

Honesty Policty: Adademic Honesty All students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of honesty and integrity in every phase of their academic careers. The penalties for academic dishonesty are severe and ignorance is not an acceptable defense. Students should pay particular attention to sections 5 and 7 of the academic honesty statement at  http://www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/culture_honesty.htm.
