Posted the Summer 2009 syllabus.

Corrected the link to the textbook from the publisher and added a link for the textbook without the myCodeMate access bundle.

I updated the wording for the Attendance section of the syllabus. Originally it was...

According to district policy, students must not be absent for more than twelve percent of the total class hours in order to receive credit for the course. Since this is a web based course, I will use weeks as the unit of measure. Twelve percent comes to around two weeks for a 16 week course. If you don’t log in to this course for a week, I will consider that an absence of a week. After another week of absence, you may be dropped from this class.

If you plan to drop this class, do so officially. It is your responsibility to drop yourself from classes before any deadlines. If you stop coming to a class without officially dropping yourself from the class, you may find an F grade on your student record.

Now it is...

According to district policy, students must not be absent for more than twelve percent of the total class hours in order to receive credit for the course. Since this is a web based course, I will use weeks as the unit of measure. Twelve percent comes to around one week for an 8 week course. If you don’t log in to this course for a week, I will consider that an absence of a week and you may be dropped from this class.

If you plan to drop this class, do so officially. It is your responsibility to drop yourself from classes before any deadlines. If you stop coming to a class without officially dropping yourself from the class, you may find a failing grade on your student record.

I changed the wording of the following by adding the underlined text:

Changes to This Syllabus

From time to time this syllabus may need to be changed. Students will be notified of syllabus changes during a regularly scheduled class meeting and by email. It is your responsibility to make sure that you possess the latest version of this syllabus.

I also added the Calendar section to the syllabus at the end of it.
