ATTENDANCE: |
Attendance and participation are very important in this activity-based class. Consequently, you will be penalized a letter grade from your final score for each absence after the first. Whether the Undergraduate Dean recognizes the absence is irrelevant. Tardiness to class is also not the proper conduct. Arriving late to class will result in a point deduction from your final grade. |
|
MAKE-UP EXAMS: |
Make-up
exams or skills tests are given at the discretion of the professor. Only extenuating circumstances warrant
rescheduling of missed work. It is the
student's responsibility to contact the instructor in such cases. |
|
HONOR SYSTEM: |
See
the 2007-2008 Student Handbook: A Guide to Civil
and Honorable Conduct. Violations
will result in a grade of “F”. |
|
WEATHER: |
The
class will meet regardless of the weather conditions. If you are unsure where the class will
meet, call 953-5559. Complications caused
by the weather may also cause delays in ending that day’s session as
scheduled. |
|
E- |
You
will check your e-mail the day before each class. This will serve as our chief means of
communication for last minute changes, exceptions, exams, or other details
that need your attention before the next meeting. |
|
SAFETY: |
“Challenge
by Choice” is observed during the activity sessions. It simply means that if you feel uneasy
about participating in an activity or any part of that activity, for any reason, just say so. You will control the degree of challenge or
risk that you will assume in completing any of the outdoor adventure
activities. This does not relieve you of completing the unit objectives for full
credit. |
