Syllabus and Rubrics (updated 9/16/12) **__LATE HOMEWORK POLICY____:__** ONLY ASSIGNMENTS HANDED IN BY THE DEADLINE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FULL CREDIT. ASSIGNMENTS HANDED IN AFTER CLASS WILL BE PENALIZED 10% OF THE TOTAL POINTS FOR THE ASSIGNMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, IF AN ASSIGNMENT IS WORTH 10 POINTS, AND YOU TURN IT IN 1-7 DAYS LATE, THE MAXIMUM YOU CAN EARN IS 9 POINTS). AN ADDITIONAL 10% PER WEEK WILL BE TAKEN OFF FOR EACH WEEK AN ASSIGNMENT IS LATE. AFTER 10 WEEKS, YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO MAKE UP ASSIGNMENTS. IF YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO RE-DO AND RE-SUBMIT AN ASSIGNMENT, YOU WILL HAVE ONE WEEK TO DO SO. IF YOU ARE LATE, YOU WILL BE GIVEN THE ORIGINAL GRADE YOU EARNED ON THE ASSIGNMENT. If you have difficulty taking your own notes, see these site below or come to me for help. (updated 9/16/12) ** Note-taking Strategies Website ** Document with Note-taking abbreviations
 * __NOTE-TAKING POLICY__: **While I encourage you to share information and help each other learn the content of this course, you MUST take and study from your own notes. Taking notes is a means of recording information and of understanding the material that I am sharing with you. Sharing your notes with others not only undermines your own academic and intellectual efforts, but robs others of the opportunity to learn how to take effective notes that are useful to them, a skill essential for college success. While you may help fill in the "gaps" in a classmates notes or assist a student who has missed class, you CANNOT copy your notes on a __#|copy machine__ or scanner for others. If you are caught copying notes for others or asking a student for his or her notes, this will be treated like a care of academic dishonesty and handled according to the Bugil GLP student handbook.
