Expectations
- Tardiness – Students are expected to arrive to class on-time and be ready to start the lecture and/or activity EXACTLY at the start of class.
- Test Policy – There are NO make-up tests, with the exception of a documented emergency. Students are expected to take the tests at the scheduled time. If there is an emergency, the student MUST contact the instructor the day of the test. Failure to contact the instructor as indicated results in the loss of make-up privilege.
- Honor Code - All work submitted for academic credit in this course is subject to the provisions of the JMU Honor System. The penalty for academic dishonesty is to receive and "F" in the course in which the violation occurred and a "W" in all other classes during the semester in which the violation occurred (for exact details see the Student Handbook). Any questions concerning academic dishonesty in this course should be directed to the professor. Questions concerning the Honor System should be directed to the Honor Council, at 540.568.6383.
- Pedometers - Pedometers are required to be worn as assigned by your instructor for full participation credit. For proper placement, secure the pedometer on the waistband or belt on the RIGHT side of the body in a vertical position with the lid closed. They will not accurately record steps when placed on a loose waistband that folds over into a horizontal position. Also, the safety strap should be secured to clothing to prevent loss or damage.
