Course Policies Attendance: Course attendance is expected and will be taken on a routine basis. Two absences are allowed without penalty; each additional absence results in a 2.5-point deduction from your attendance grade. Participation: There will be a variety of participation activities over the course of the semester. More details will be provided at a later date. Annotated Bibliography: The annotated bibliography will consist of a summary of five refereed publications that address one of the global climate change themes or issues discussed during the semester. Exams: Make up exams will only be given due to a verifiable emergency. It is the student s responsibility to contact the faculty member within 24 hours of the scheduled exam to request a makeup. Otherwise, the student will receive an automatic zero. Final Exam: The final exam is cumulative and is scheduled for May 1. All students will take the final at this time.

Statement of Student Engagement In its mission statement, Appalachian State University aims at providing undergraduate students a rigorous liberal education that emphasizes transferable skills and preparation for professional careers as well as maintaining a faculty whose members serve as excellent teachers and scholarly mentors for their students. Such rigor means that the foremost activity of Appalachian students is an intense engagement with their courses. In practical terms, students should expect to spend two to three hours of studying for every hour of class time. Hence, a fifteen hour academic load might reasonably require between 30 and 45 hours per week of out-of-class work.
