Cell Phones
All cell phones will be turned off during the class period and during any other class activities (i.e., labs, field trips etc.) If you violate this rule you will receive twenty (20) points off your final grade for every violation.

Class Participation
You are expected to attend class on-time and for the full duration of the course. You are also required to participate in discussions. This means that if readings are required before coming to class you are expected to be prepared to discuss the material. I conduct my class according to the Socratic method and it is imperative that you be able to discuss the material intelligently. Attendance will be taken daily and participation noted.

This Class and the Internet
The Internet is an integral part of this class. All the pertinent information about my class is contained in my homepage I think you will find that the use of the Internet for this class gives it incredible flexibility. . At anytime day or night, you can access some of the most important elements of this class and also send me e-mail. I check my e-mail frequently and you can often get a quicker response than waiting for class or my normal office hours. In addition, you can submit take-home exercises by e-mail.

Plagiarism
All reports and examinations will be in you own words. When you use digital or analog  material that is not authored by you, you must put this material in quotes and reference it according to accepted methods of referencing (i.e., Chicago Manual of Style.)
