At least 25% of your grade for this project will be determined by the visualizations and tables in your report.

Attendance in class is expected of all participants. This class is going to move very quickly and the things we learn will build on the things we've covered the week before. ''It will be extremely difficult to miss classes.'' If you need to miss class for any reason, please contact the instructor ahead of time (email is best). Multiple unexplained absences will likely result in a lower grade or (in extreme circumstances) a failing grade. In the event of an absence, you are responsible for obtaining class notes, handouts, assignments, etc. | |||

If I suspect a student violation of that code, I will first engage in a conversation with that student about my concerns. | ||
If we cannot successfully resolve a suspected case of academic misconduct through our conversations, I will refer the situation to the Anita Crofts, Comm Lead Associate Director of Academic Affairs. The Comm Lead Associate Director of Academic Affairs, in consultation with the Comm Lead Director, can then work with the COM Chair to seek further input and if necessary, move the case up to the Dean. | |||
