Course Procedures:

Attendance:  Attendance at this class is mandatory.  Contribution to class discussion, and the flow of information between you, each other, and me is a large part of this class. Therefore, attendance will be taken each day.  You will be turning in assignments at several points in the term.  I will not accept late papers under any circumstances.  If you are sick, send the paper with a peer. If you know in advance that you will not be able to attend class on a date when an assignment is due, it is your responsibility to turn it in before that class period.

 

Professional Ethical Conduct:  You will be treated ethically according to the SOPHE Code of Ethics for Health Educators.  If you feel that you have not been treated fairly, please feel free to discuss this in private with me.  You may also feel free to talk with Dr. Briggs, the Director of Health Education, or Dr. McGowan, Chair of the HHPR Department.  I also expect to be treated in an ethical manner by you. This means following the student code of conduct in the CWU Catalog.
