Things to consider before dropping a course. Information on repeating a course.

What is a university education? A university is NOT like high school, a community college, or a technical school. The purpose of a university is to: 1) discover and develop new knowledge (in science and the arts), and 2) to bring knowledge to society through teaching. You will often hear your experience here classified as a "liberal arts education", which is a term that attempts to encapsulate the university experience, but is, in fact, a component of the larger university experience. At a university, you should learn how to problem solve, to think critically, explore fields and areas of interest, learn about cultures, and society -- in addition to learning general aspects and specifics of a range of fundamental topics and specifically within your major. At a university you are given many opportunities to learn from experts in various fields of study, and to explore the world of knowledge -- take advantage of these opportunities!

Required Textbooks: 1. Frey, Pinet, and Whitney, (1992) Earth History.

Lab Assignments: Read through the assigned laboratories BEFORE coming to lab. Labs are informal and involve working with others.

Grades: Your lab performance will based on whether you complete the labs and lab quiz scores. Note that rude, disruptive, and disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated and will result in a lowered lab grade and possible removal from the course. Lab grades will be part of your overall course score.

Lab Attendance: Attendance is mandatory. If you miss a lab, you may not attend another section without first contacting the lab instructor (see schedule below). No exceptions!

Special Accommodations: Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with disabilities.

Academic Integrity: The Wisconsin Administrative Code states: “Students are responsible for the honest completion and representation of their work, for the appropriate citation of sources, and for respect of others academic endeavors.” (§ UWS 14.01) Plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct are serious offenses with severe penalties. See the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Student Discipline Code for definitions of academic misconduct and details about procedures, sanctions, and other relevant information. Specific questions about the provisions in the Student Discipline Code should be directed to the Dean of Students Office. If you do not understand this statement, please see me as soon as possible.
