The instructor reserves the right to make schedule changes if necessary. The weekly quick write prompt will be given at the beginning of the class and cannot be made up if student is absent. Instructor may give quick write prompts early if prior arrangements are made. Quick writes must be at least one half page in length.
In the event of inclement weather or any other reason to cancel class the instructor will contact you through the website so be sure you have registered online. Otherwise assume class will meet—even if VHS did not meet that day.
