Consistent attendance is important for success in this course. If you are absent from class, you are still responsible for the material and assignments.
In HUM200, the lectures and seminars place the readings in their historical context or encourage you to think about the subject in a fresh way. Lectures and seminars are not substitutes for the readings and will not necessarily repeat or summarize that material. Examination questions are based on the lecture topics, so it is important that you take clear and concise notes from the lectures, seminars, and readings. It is also a good idea to review your notes periodically: it helps you to remember the material.
Considerate classroom conduct, adequate class preparation, and participation will enhance your academic experience and that of your colleagues. In particular, you are asked to be prompt, courteous, responsible and collaborative.
Some tests will use multiple-choice bubble cards to record your answers. A student who fails to write their name on their test card will receive a score of zero (0) for that test.
During an in-class test, all students are required to remain in their seats for the first 15 minutes of the test. Students arriving after the first 15 minutes of the test will be considered absent and will receive a grade of zero (0) for that test.
All evaluation dates are set in advance. It is uncommon to miss more than one scheduled quiz or assignment. Therefore, it is not possible to make-up or re-write missed work. A missed quiz or assignment will result in a grade of zero (0). However, one such grade should not significantly lower your grade. This policy applies to all missed work.
At the end of the semester, the lowest grade earned from the 3 quizzes and the C.P. (Part 2) will be discarded. Your term mark will be recalculated using the average of the 3 remaining grades. This calculation does not apply to the C.P. (Pt. 1) or the examinations.
Students are required to complete any and all term work in order to write the Final Examination.
