Course Policies
- Grading
- No incomplete will be given except according to College policy, namely, "only when unusual circumstances beyond the control of the student prevent giving a specific grade." This implies that earlier course requirements, e.g., exams or papers have been completed satisfactorily.
- Graduating seniors, if they have an A or B in the course may, if they do so wish, skip the final exam.
- Examinations and Papers
Exams and papers are due by their deadline unless
- an unexpected emergency occurs, and
- you inform me of this orally and prior to the exam or deadline.
- Attendance
The student is responsible for all materials presented in class, including lectures, discussion, visual materials and dropped hints.
- Academic Integrity
This should read in the Hope College Catalog, pp. 77-78.
The statement therein assumes a covenantal relationship between instructors and students. Elements of this covenant include not only common expectations about academic honesy, but a joint agreement to perform at our best.
