Software - This course uses the Microsoft Office Suite 2003 programs (Word, and PowerPoint). You can do all of your assignments in the Wesleyan Labs. If you have the correct programs at home you may do your work there but it is your responsibility to verify that the software you use is compatible.

Attendance – Attendance is very important to your success as a student. Especially since we only meet once a week. If you miss one night you miss 20 percent of the course. Points covered during lecture will show up on the exams. It is your responsibility to keep up with the class work if you must be absent. If you miss a quiz you MUST make up that quiz before the next class. No Exceptions! Homework assignments are due at the start of class. Late assignments will receive fewer points. When a section is finished all assignments from that section must be turned in or they will not receive any points.

Plagiarism – The school policy on cheating and behavior is in the Student Handbook. Familiarize yourself with the rules so there will be no surprises. There is a fine line between "working together" and cheating.
