Firing Policy:
The process for firing is as follows:
• Group members contact Allison about firing, giving evidence of the group member’s failure to contribute.
• Allison contacts group member about performance (with group members CCd).
• Group member has 48 hours to respond and correct their behavior and is on “probation” for the rest of the semester. They will be subject to intervention by myself at any time if there is unanimous agreement that the problem persists.
• Should the group member not choose to correct their behavior, they will receive a zero on all projects not complete at the time of their firing.

INCOMPLETE GRADES AND ADD DROP:An IF is given only when a student, for reasons beyond her/his control, has been unable to complete course requirements within the term. Potential situations might include: military duty, family emergency, a family death or extreme illness and/or hospitalization during the semester that causes the student to be unable to complete a significant portion of the coursework on time.
A substantial amount of the course work must have been satisfactorily completed in order for a student to be eligible for an IF grade. An incomplete will not be given to a student who has never attended or who has submitted little or no work in a course. At least 50% of the course’s work needs to be satisfactorily completed at the time of the IF request. This means thathalf of this course’s workload should be complete with a grade of a C or above, not that the student is receiving at least a 50% in the course.
These policies are university standards and I will not sign incomplete grade agreements for scenarios which do not comply with the above policies. You are 100% responsible for understanding when the Add/Drop dates for this course are and making smart decisions based on your job or internship and/or additional course load when it comes to completing work for this class. Failing to drop in a timely manner is not grounds for an incomplete.
