Frequently Asked Questions

  • Am I required to attend the classes even though they are not "in-person"?
    Yes. Attendance is mandatory and there will be random attendance checks during class. Attendance is a component of class participation and will count towards your grade according to the rubric stated in the syllabus.
  • Will lectures be recorded and made available to us?
    Yes. All lectures will be recorded and will be viewable with a password on the Zoom website.
  • Can I use an older edition of the book?
    There are many changes between the ninth and tenth editions of the textbook. The tenth edition update includes much more material, in terms of both content and new supporting material. In short, there are important differences. If you are thinking,
    Should you use the new book? Probably.
    Your job is to follow the material and learn it, however you manage it. Books are expensive, yes, but so are college credits. The book can be sold when you are finished with it and the digital edition, 10e, is affordable.
  • Will exams have questions about material not covered in class lectures?
    Not intentionally, but if I somehow make a mistake and one slips in, it will not count towards the exam grade.
  • Is your lateness policy strictly enforced?
    Absolutely. Submit all assignments on time.
