COURSE SCHEDULE
LECTURE ATTENDANCE
It is expected that you will attend all lectures. There is no substitute for in-
class learning. Exam questions will be based on the lectures rather than
the textbook. If you observe a religious holiday which interferes with a
scheduled class session, please let me know the first week of class.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Academic integrity is of the utmost importance in this class and at this
university. Please familiarize yourself with the Rutgers University Code of
Academic Integrity, which can be found here:

content/uploads/sites/41/2014/11/AI_Policy_2013.pdf
Students who plagiarize, cheat, or otherwise violate this code will be
reported to the Office of Student Conduct and may receive a failing grade,
academic probation, or even expulsion.
CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE
1. You may use a tablet or computer to take notes, although research
shows students retain information with more success if they take
hand-written notes. Do not use your device for social media, online
shopping, reading news, etc. It is a distraction to those sitting behind
you and it is a waste of valuable class time.
2. Cellphones must be turned off during class. No texting or phone calls.
3. Do not eat food during lecture.
4. Do not talk to your neighbors during class. If you have something to
contribute to the discussion, please raise your hand and share with
everyone.
5. There is no participation grade. However, if you are at the cusp
between two letter grades, I may take your behavior and engagement
level into consideration when assigning final grades.
