Policies

1.  Your perfect attendance is expected.

2.  You are expected to read Latin from a clean text at all times.  Should you require aids, they must be in your own hand writing, on a sepa one rate piece of paper.  I reserve the right to inspect for clean texts, and dismiss a student who has a marked text.

3.  There will be no make up work except in extraordinary and documented cases.

4.  Students requesting classroom accommodation must first register with the Dean of Students Office. The Dean of Students Office will provide documentation to the student who must then provide this documentation to the Instructor when requesting accommodation.

5.  The use of cellular devices during class is strictly prohibited.  Refusal to comply results in immediate dismissal from class.

6.  Academic Honesty is expected at all times. We, the members of the University of Florida community, pledge to hold ourselves and our peers to the highest standards of honesty and integrity . On all work submitted for credit by students at the university, the following pledge is either required or implied: "On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this assignment."

7.  Students who face difficulties completing the course or who are in need of counseling or urgent help may call the on-campus counseling center: 352-392-1575, or the student mental health center: 352-392-1171.
