IMPORTANT POLICY: Students are expected to show consistent efforts in learning and to actively involve in various discussion and presentation sessions. All assignments and their due dates are clearly indicated in the course outline above, so late submission will not be accepted. All work submitted for this class must be your own. Copying or representing the work of anyone else (in print, from the internet, from another student, etc.) as your own is plagiarism and cheating. This is unacceptable in this class so no doubt you will get zero for it. Those who are absent more than a week (four hours) will automatically FAIL the course.
