Class Contract for Classes with Mr. Fox

Withdrawal policy: Last day to withdraw is April 11th, 2007. To be withdrawn from this class, YOU  MUST stop by my office and fill out a withdrawal form. If you are unable to find me, you must contact the Dean of the Division of English, Mathematics, and Education. You are only guaranteed of being withdrawn if you initiate the process.  However, I reserve the right to withdraw any student who consistently misses class to the point where it is detrimental to that student's chances for success.   All withdrawals earn a grade of "W" which does not affect the GPA but deletes the course credit(s) for the involved course(s).  Withdrawal from a course can affect financial aid.  Students who receive financial aid should see an advisor in the Financial Aid Office before withdrawing from a course.

Homework Requirements: All homework should be done before the next class period. Announced and unannounced quizzes will be similar to the assigned problems. Homework quizzes will be the homework problems from previous assignments. You may use your homework notebook but not your book during the homework quizzes.  Traditional quizzes may also be given.  You are also expected to read the text to supplement information provided during my lectures. On average, you should spend 1-2 hours studying outside of class for each hour you are in class.

Missed tests:  You may make up a test if:
1) you know you will be absent on the day of a scheduled test and  you arrange a time prior to the test to take it early, or
2) you arrange a time after  the test to take it late provided you take the test before I return that test to ANY section of the class that I am teaching this semester.

Otherwise you may use your score on the final to replace the first missed exam if you do not wish to make it up.

A second missed exam without a physician's  written excuse will result in zero for that exam.

Missed quizzes: cannot be made up for any reason (this includes homework quizzes).

Attendance: You are expected to attend all classes regularly. If absence is unavoidable, it is your responsibility to complete any work missed.
