(a) Attendance
There is an attendance policy for this course that applies to all students. If you
miss a class, it is your responsibility to obtain notes and assignments from one of your
classmates or to contact me.
Attendance in this course is treated similar to attendance in the workplace (although more
leniently):

(1) Attendance means you are expected to be at class on time and stay for the entire
class

(2) It is your responsibility to make sure that your name is checked off the weekly class
attendance sheet

(3) If you have a valid excuse for missing class (e.g. illness) then you must contact the
instructor in person or by phone within 24 hours of the class session to obtain an
excused absence - email or a note are not acceptable means of communication.
You are allowed 2 absences in the course (this includes an entire class or a portion of a
class). Any absences greater than 2 will result in a decrease in your final course grade.
For example, 3 absences means a decrease of a final course grade of an A to an A-, 4
absences from an A to a B+, 5 absences from an A to a B, etc.
Missed Examinations: If you have an “excused absence,” (e.g. physician’s statement ), prior to
scheduled exam, arrangements must be made with the instructor. Missing the Midterm
examination without an acceptable excuse will result in a “zero” score on the Midterm. If
you miss the Final examination and have an excused absence, you must then take a
makeup exam.
Behavior during Exams: Any student behaving in ways not normally acceptable during
an examination, will receive an immediate “F” for the course, and the Dean of the
College of Business will be requested to take disciplinary action in the matter.

5. Incomplete Grades (IF) and Drops/Withdrawals:
University and College of Business
policies on IFs and drops/withdrawals will be followed in this class. They are as follows:

• IFs are to be used only when illness or other unexpected documentable circumstances
  that are beyond the student’s control occurs, and
• A substantial portion of the course has been satisfactorily completed. For purposes of determining “substantial portion” for this course, you must have taken the first 2 exams and turned in all of the required assignments. If circumstances arise before the date which will keep you from satisfactorily completing the course, you should drop the course.
• In order to remove the IF, you and I will determine the work to be completed and the completion deadline.
• Students with an IF will not be allowed to sit in the class in a subsequent semester without registering for the course.
• An IF will automatically convert to an F one calendar year after the IF is given.
• After September 19th, the instructor must approve a DROP. Drops will be given to any student wishing to drop for any reason.
• After  October 31_st, courses may not be dropped unless there are circumstances, which are clearly beyond the student’s control and must be approved by the Dean’s office. Drops will not be permitted simply to avoid a low grade.
• Drops and IFs will not be approved after the date the final exam is given.

6. Reasonable Accommodations: Students with a disability who require special
accommodations must provide a letter of accommodation from Disability Services (MH
105, Phone: 262-3354) within the first two weeks of the semester.

7. Class Interruptions: <see complete details on the website. > These include late arrivals
early departures from class, disruptive behavior (cell phones & leaving early for breaks.)

Due: All papers must be submitted to Prof. Discenza’s Turn It In account for the OPTM 300 class.  More details will be given in class.

 Please be advised that Turn It In is a plagiarism prevention tool (not a plagiarism detection tool). In other words, the goal is to prevent plagiarism in the first place and not actually catch students cheating. To this end, students can “pre-submit” their paper as many times as they wish prior to their official submission (once every 24 hours).  Each submission generates an Originality Report that identifies any unoriginal content in a paper and tells where the content was taken from. This includes papers that were submitted in prior semesters.

 Note: Late papers will be reduced 20 points for each 24 hour period of delay
