Classroom Rules and Policies
Classroom Etiquette
- Do not bring food into class
- Do not be tardy.
- If you must be late, do not be disruptive upon entering.
- Do not text during class
- Electronic devices will be allowed for the reading of primary sources, but their abuse will result in this rule being revoked
- Students must remain respectful to one another during primary source discussions
- Please ask questions about anything you are unsure about
- Don't be afraid to ask any history-related questions relevant to the subject matter, but try to remain on-topic and respectful.
Attendance
Expected. Information from this class is not learned purely from lectures which can be read from home. Participating in primary source discussions is crucial to your success and the passing of the class. I understand that emergencies happen and are often beyond our control. If you know that you will be absent, please let me know beforehand. Illnesses will be excused with a note from the doctor. Absences will not be excused otherwise.
Late Work
Students are expected to turn in assignments on time, either in class or online. Late assignments will be docked a full letter grade for every day that they are late. Missing assignments due to absences will be accepted late for full credit if the absence was excused prior to the due date OR the absence was excused by a note from a doctor's note. Late assignments form unexcused absences will receive a reduced final grade, so please keep me informed.
Academic Honesty
Students must do their own work. Any students caught plagiarizing will receive no credit for the assignment. Plagiarism is defined as taking someone else's work, whether paraphrased or copied verbatim and passing it off as one's own. Plagiarism can be unintentional if sources are not adequately cited.
