Withdrawals

Students may be withdrawn from the class after missing more than 10% of the class periods; that is, after missing 5 class periods. If I initiate the withdrawal without your knowledge I will assign a grade of WF; if you initiate the withdrawal before the withdrawal deadline, March 8, I will assign a grade of W. Any withdrawal after the withdrawal deadline, March 8, will result in a grade of WF.

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 www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/culture_honesty.htm

Note: The course syllabus provides a general plan for the course; deviations may be necessary.
