is the policy of the instructor not to give additional assignments for extra credit for students who wish to pull up their grades at the end of semester. Every attempt is
made to provide a complete syllabus that provides an accurate overview of the courses. However, circumstances and events may make it necessary for the
instructor to modify the syllabus during the semester. This may depend, in part, on the progress, needs and experiences of the students.
3. Students participate in the discussion, and answer the discussion questions. Failure to do those in three (3) weeks will mean dropping from the course.
