Attendance
and participation are expected:
Regular attendance is necessary, but not sufficient, to earn an
"A" in this class. Students should inform the instructor if
they must miss a class. Students who know in advance that they
will be excused for scheduled examinations (e.g. excused for a Union
College activity) are to arrange for make-up examinations before
the dates of their scheduled examinations. Students missing a
scheduled examination because of an unanticipated situation (e.g.
illness) must arrange for a make-up examination within one class meeting
after their return to class.
No type of academic
dishonesty (e.g. cheating or plagiarism) will be tolerated. Please
consult the Union College Student Handbook for the college's policies in
these areas, as those policies will be enforced.

Cell phones or other electronic devices may not be used at any time during exams. Please advise the professor if you are expecting an urgent call on the day of an exam and make prior arrangements to receive the call. Unauthorized use of a cell phone for any reason during an exam will be grounds for failure on that exam.
