Complete all assignments before they are due. If you cannot submit an assignment before a due date, you MUST inform me before the due date to avoid point deduction. If you have technical issues uploading an assignment and cannot submit on time, you may email me with proof of the issue to avoid point deduction. For every day an assignment is late, you will lose 10 points on that assignment. Please do not submit any solutions which have been generated by AI. Please only submit solutions which you have come up with on your own. You may use external tools to help you learn topics, but you may not copy answers.

Please attend as many days possible. If you have a valid reason for not attending, please email me and let me know why. I am very reasonable. If you have four or more UNEXCUSED absences, you will begin to receive point deductions from your final grade. But again, I am reasonable, and I will listen and try to work with you if you simply email me and let me know what may conflict with your attendance.

Be sure to check your campus email and Course Homepage using MyLSCPA campus web portal. You can also access your grades, transcripts, academic advisors, degree progress, and other services through MyLSCPA.
