  2. Attendance: Your presence is required and appreciated. Absences must be explained (see fees below). University attendance policy is enforced (beyond 7 absences results in failure).    
  3. Academic honesty: You are expected to uphold the University's Honor System. Any violation of university honor system policy will result in at least a failing grade in the course.    
  4 Compensation Fees:
  • Procrastination fee: You may turn in assignments late for a nominal fee of 10% per 24-hour period late.
  • Irresponsibility fee: In the case of any absence, you must make an office appointment with the professor  within 24 hours of the absence to explain any absence to avoid paying an  irresponsibility fee (10 points).
