I encourage you to take advantage of office hours. Often there is not sufficient time in class to ensure that every student understands the material presented. Clearing up a small problem early will often avoid much confusion later on. Please do not hesitate to contact me for assistance. If office hours are not convenient for you, please call me. I am often able to answer questions over the phone and it is no inconvenience to me. I would like to help you pass this course, but I cannot help if you do not ask.

I also encourage you to form 'study groups'. These groups can help you understand the homework assignments and to prepare for tests.

Assignments and Projects:
You should read the appropriate section of your test prior to class. Due to the compact summer semester, homework assignments will NOT be collected. However, you should complete the assignments to prepare for the tests and to make sure that you understand the material.

Daily Schedule and Assignments

Missed Test Policy:
No make-up tests will be given. The first missed test will be your dropped test. The second missed test will be counted as a zero.

Attendance Policy:
Attendance will be taken at each class meeting. At midpoint, any student whose average is below 60 and who has missed more than two class meetings (or more than 5 hours of class time) up to the midpoint of the semester will be withdrawn with a "W" from the class. Attendance will not be used in determining final grades.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE REGENTS' TEST

Students who are taking English 1102 are strongly encouraged to register for and take the Regents' Test.  You may register for the test even after drop/add is over in many cases. See a counselor to register.

When a student accrues 30 semester hours he/she MUST register for both parts of the test.  Students have two attempts to pass each part.  Students who do not pass in two attempts must take the appropriate remediation class(es).

If a student accrues 45 semester hours and has not passed both parts of the test, he/she MUST take remediation, which takes precedence over any other class.  A student in this category may not register for collegiate classes unless registered for the remediation classes required.

When you register for the Regents' Test, DO NOT FORGET TO GO TO THE TEST ON THE PRESCRIBED DATE.

During the semester you register for the test, there will be free prep sessions offered by Reading and English teachers at GPC Rockdale. Take advantage of these sessions.  More students pass on the first attempt who have attended a prep session.

Cheating Policy:
All student work must be that of the student submitting the work unless otherwise noted. Projects completed with partners or as small groups should be so noted with all names indicated on the papers. The giving or receiving of help from notes or another person during exams or tests may result in a grade of zero for this work and/or a grade of "F" in the course, and/or referral to the campus disciplinary committee for penalty, which may include suspension for the College. See Academic Honesty policy.
