Student Performance Activities (Attendance)
You will be asked to participate in some way nearly every day. Therefore, your attendance will be important to the success of the course and your grade will be based in part on your performance in that area. NOTE: If you miss more than three (3) class periods during the semester you will be required to present an additional speech!
Those with perfect attendance will receive a three percent bonus on their final percentage for the course. Perfect attendance is achieved only by meeting two conditions:
1. You must attend for the full class session each time the course meets. You can not be late and you can not leave early. For the purpose of this policy there are no excused absences.
2. Each assignment (quizzes, speeches, practice speeches) is completed when assigned and due.

Assignment Due Dates
Obviously, all assignments are due on the day indicated at the time of the assignment.

ADA Compliance
If any member of the class feels that he/she has a disability and needs special accommodations of any nature whatsoever, the instructor will work with you and the University’s office of Student Affairs to provide reasonable accommodations to ensure that you have a fair opportunity to perform in this class. Please advise the instructor of such disability and the desired accommodations at the first class attended.

General Course Requirements
• Turn your cell phone off, pagers, pda, pocket pc's.
• This course is not an “automatic A.” If you earn an “A” you will receive it; if not, then you will receive the grade you earn.
• All assignments turned in late or performed late are penalized by one grade level per class session overdue (unexcused only).
• Make a copy of all work you turn in. Keep all graded work returned to you till the end of the semester. This policy protects you from my mistakes (and is a good idea for all of your classes).
• Plagiarism is the act of taking another person's words and/or ideas and presenting them as your own. The following are examples of plagiarism.
1. Presenting a speech, or portion of a speech, from any source without giving credit to the source.
2. Presenting ideas in your assignment that are not common information without giving credit to the source of the ideas.
3. Presenting text transcribed from a book, magazine, encyclopedia, brochure, website, etc.

Foul Weather Policy
• Class will be held if at all possible.
• It is the student’s responsibility to receive the information when weather is questionable.
• Neither students nor faculty are expected to risk life or limb.
• Faculty members are obligated to hold classes if the University is not closed, unless the faculty member is unable to get to campus.
During times of inclement weather, decisions concerning day classes will be made by 6:00 a.m. in order for the media to be notified and for students to receive the announcement before they leave home. Decisions concerning night classes will be made by 3:00 p.m.
