|Additional Notes |
|Cheating |Your grade should be a reflection of your own individual understanding and mastery of the material covered in|
| |the course. Cheating or dishonesty in any manner (including, but not limited to, plagiarism, lying, and/or |
| |presenting work from others as your own) will not be tolerated. Should academic dishonesty be suspected or |
| |detected, it will be dealt with according to the Jordan University of Science and Technology policies. |
|Workload |You should be prepared to spend at least six hours outside of class each week studying for that week’s |
| |material. |
|Attendance and Participation |Presentation and active participation in the classroom discussions is important for evaluation. |
| |Students will have to prepare and present the assigned chapter every week. Classroom discussion and debate |
| |are essential to this course. I expect students to attend class ready to discuss assigned readings and I |
| |encourage them to develop their own views about the readings. |
