Attendance
I understand that Ithaca permits one missed class per term. Please try to attend all classes. Missing two classes for any reason means you can not receive a P grade for the course. There are no make up classes possible.
Written Work
A. Format for all written work. Turn in all written assignments. Assignments are due as assigned at the start of each class. Be sure ALL written work includes the following:
i. Student's Name, Date, and the Page Number on each page. For example:
Bill D. Student Page Four April 1, 2006
ii. All work must be stapled or bound. DO NOT USE BINDERS THAT HAVE SLIP-IN EDGES.
iii. Label one copy Label your work, Ithaca Fall 2006
B. Feedback. Generally, each paper will be returned. Little written feedback will be provided on the written assignments. To receive detailed feedback, schedule appointments with Block during office hours (see office hours above). Block cannot provide detailed written comments, but will provide detailed oral criticism. If you want help, just set up a meeting. (No kidding.) This is the your responsibility.
Legal and Other Advice
Block is not a lawyer or accountant. He cannot give legal, tax or accounting advice. For specific information, students should meet with professionals in these areas. Examples provided in class and in handouts as case studies or samples only and students should not use these samples/examples in lieu of seeking professional advice.
