| INSTRUCTOR: Leigh Thompson |

| CASEPACK : YES |
||||
| FIRST ASSIGNMENT: None. |
||||
| Attendance Policy: Please carefully note that there is a department-wide attendance policy for this course. MANDATORY attendance is required on the first day of class. In addition, prepared attendance is required for all sessions in which there is a negotiation, either in class or out of class. I strongly suggested you do not enroll for this course if you cannot attend all class meetings. If a student misses a negotiation he or she will be penalized one letter grade. If the student fails to inform the instructor of his or her absence IN ADVANCE, the student will lose an additional letter grade. Each student is allowed one miss without penalty, assuming that the instructor has been notified 48 hours in advance and the student has found a replacement that has been approved in advance by the instructor. (NOTE: The one miss CANNOT be used on the first day of class) Students who are not in attendance the first class session will be dropped automatically from class. It is not acceptable to attend other times or sessions, nor is it acceptable to make-up negotiations out of class. Additional time will be spent during the first class session explaining the attendance policy. Negotiation class materials will be distributed for the first negotiation during the actual class session. Under no circumstances are the materials delivered in mailboxes, faxes, etc. |
