Prerequisites
Additional Regulations
- The late penalty for class projects is 10% per day. No projects are accepted more than 10 days late. An exception to this penalty requires documentation submitted through the office of the Dean of Students. Such documentation must be submitted on or before the date the the project is due. If an exception to this policy is granted, the late penalty may be reduced, but it will not be not entirely eliminated.
- No late assignments will be accepted after the Sunday following finals week, 11:59pm.
- All projects must be submitted on D2L.
- Attendance counts for 10% of your grade. Students in the asynchronous section submit study logs to obtain credit for attendance. See the class news items for details about study logs.
- An incomplete is hard to get in CDM. It is usually only allowed for a major illness (typically requiring hospitalization) or a death in the family. In any case documentation is required, which must be submitted to the Dean of Students Office.
- More than one half of the work must be completed for the course for a student's incomplete request to be considered.
- If you have trouble submitting any project, email the completed project to the professor to prove that you completed it on time, then submit the assignment on the D2L system as soon as possible.
- Submitting a wrong version is not a reason to waive a late penalty for a project.
- Class registration is not allowed after the first week of class.
- Students should keep backup copies of all submitted projects, in case a wrong version is submitted.
- Extra credit assignments are not given.
- This syllabus is subject to change as necessary during the quarter. If a change occurs, it will be announced during the class and posted on the course announcements page.

Evaluations are a way for students to provide valuable feedback regarding their instructor and the course. Detailed feedback will enable the instructor to continuously tailor teaching methods and course
content to meet the learning goals of the course and the academic needs of the students. They are a requirement of the course and are key to continue to provide you with the highest quality of teaching. The
evaluations are anonymous; the instructor and administration do not track who entered what responses. A program is used to check if the student completed the evaluations, but the evaluation is completely
separate from the student’s identity. Since 100% participation is our goal, students are sent periodic reminders over three weeks. Students do not receive reminders once they complete the evaluation.
Students complete the evaluation online in CampusConnect.
This course will be subject to the university's academic integrity policy. More information can be found at http://academicintegrity.depaul.edu/ If you
