Being prepared and on-time will help you in the long run.
You will get two weekly grades. One being the class participation grade and the other being your daily writing grade.
There will be no surprises in here. I will keep you informed and updated on what is expected for class, so there should be no excuses!

11. PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism will NOT be tolerated, and will be taken seriously.
Any assignment that is plagiarized will result in a 0 for the grade, which can not be made up.
Disciplinary action as a result of plagiarism will be at the discretion of the teacher (a.k.a. ME, a.k.a. THE BOSS, a.k.a. Mr. Wonderful).
Bottom line: You’re brilliant, use your own work!!
