A word to the wise
The most important element in the learning of any language is consistency. Please note the importance of class participation in your grade. This means that you will be richly rewarded for consistent attendance and preparation, but repeated absences and/or lack of preparation for class will cost you dearly.

Scholastic dishonesty
Scholastic dishonesty on any graded assignment will result in a failing grade (Zero), which you may not drop. Scholastic dishonesty includes any kind of cheating; if you are unsure about the exact definition you should consult the appropriate sections of "A Student's Guide to Living in the Heart of Texas" or the General Information Bulletin.

Academic disabilities
I will make myself available to discuss appropriate academic accommodations that you may require as a student with a disability. Before course accommodations will be made, you may be required to provide documentation from the Office of the Dean of Students - Services for Students with Disabilities.

Religious holidays
If you will be unable to complete any assignments on time because of religious holidays, please notify instructor in writing by January 30th.

Missed and late work
Exams may be made up only in the case of religious holidays, illness, or family emergencies. Be aware that makeup exams are generally more difficult than original exams. Quizzes may not be made up.
