Administrative Withdrawal: A basic requirement of the course is that you will participate in all class meetings and conscientiously complete all required course activities and / or assignments. Keep in touch with me if you are unable to attend, participate, or complete an assignment on time. If you miss more than half of the required activities within the first 25% of the course without contacting me (direct email), you may be administratively withdrawn from this course.
