COURSE POLICY

• Your success in the class is hinged on regular attendance. Attendance at all class meetings is a requirement. Absences not only inhibit the absentee’s own progress, but also interfere with fellow students’ progress.
• Homework and assignments should be submitted on the day due unless otherwise specified. No late homework or assignments will be accepted.
• Let me know if something is not working for you. I would prefer to hear about the problems in the course during the semester, when we can deal with them, rather than in course evaluation, when it is too late to change things.
• Cell phone must be either turned off or in silent mode.
• Please feel free to see me during office hours (by appointment) when you want to have a look at any resources about Indonesia that I have. You may borrow my books but please make sure you return those books so that other people can use also them.
