Class Policies
Attendance
Attendance is mandatory. During each class meeting class work, a quiz, or test will be given. If you miss this work you are counted as absent. Quizzes cannot be made up. If you miss more than four classes, you will be dropped. If you stop attending class after the official drop date, I will have to fail you. If you intend to drop it is your responsibility to do so before the official deadline.Class Etiquette and
Participation
Class participation is required. There will be many opportunities to discuss material in class and to dialogue with other students when appropriate. There will be class work, quizzes and written work that cannot be made up if you are not in class.You must have your reading done before you come to class. If you do not, you will be asked to sit in the back and finish your reading and will not be able to take the quiz for that day. You will also be expected to make comments on the class blog about your reading assignments, the lectures or films seen in class or as related to homework.No food or drinks in the classroom. No cell phones. You will be asked to leave if you bring a cell phone, PDA or any other electronic device that is a distraction.You will be expected to follow DeAnza’s College official policy of mutual respect.
ADA Statement
If you require reasonable accommodations because of a physical, mental, or learning disability, please notify the instructor of this course within the first two weeks of class.
Class Work/Homework/Blog Comments/Final Project
Class work will be assigned and done in class either individually or in groups. It cannot be made up if it is missed. Homework is rare, but when assigned is due the next class day and late work will not be accepted. Periodically you will be required to make comments on articles, videos clips or other material posted on the blog. This is a form of class participation and you will be graded on it.
The Final Project is an ongoing assignment which will be due toward the end of the quarter and will be discussed more in class.
Cheating
PlagiarismAccording to the MLA Handbook, “To use another person’s ideas or expressions in your writing without acknowledging the sources is to plagiarize. Plagiarism, then, constitutes intellectual theft.” (p 30)If you do not follow DeAnza’s Colllege official policy of academic integrity you will be failed from the course and turned into the college.
CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM will not be tolerated.
Quizzes and Tests
There will be two exams given in this course, one midterm and one final. There will be ten quizzes. Missed quizzes due to tardiness or absenteeism will result in a ‘zero’ grade for that particular quiz and may not be made up.
Late Work/Missed Exams
I do not accept late work. I do not allow for makeup exams, unless you speak with me personally before the exam date.You may not take the final early. Missed quizzes cannot be made up.
Grading
The course grading will be determined as follows:
Midterm 150
Quizzes 100
Class work 50
Blog comments 50
Project 100
Final 150
Total Possible 600
100 – 98% = A+
97 – 93% = A
92 – 90% = A-
89 – 88% =B+
87 – 83% =B
83 – 80% =B-
79 – 78% =C+
77 – 70% =C
69 – 68% =C-
67 – 63% = D
62 – 60 % = D-
59 % and below = F
All percentages will be rounded down. Example: 79.8 = 79% or a C. (See Extra Credit.) No emailed assignments unless requested by the instructor.
Extra Credit
Every student begins the semester with 20 extra credit points. You may keep these points by attending class. Ten points are lost for each absence. If you have extra credit attendance points at the end of the semester, this is to your advantage. The rounding down policy will not apply to you - your grade percentage for the course will be rounded up (74.5 is 75 but 74.4 is still 74).

Even though flooding was an annual event in Egypt, it says this one was inconceivable, does this have anything to do with the gods being upset? considering the spirits influenced their lives.
ReplyDeleteIn this clip, I think Menes was just trying to be logical. If he wanted to rule, he needed to keep his city safe first. His tribe must have started off nomadic since he was warrior based.
ReplyDeleteit blows my mind that these people did all this without machines. they only had people to build it, thats crazy. before they built the dam in Menes why would people live that close to a river if it floods EVERY year? you would think they would learn the first time, then think about the dam plan then go back.
ReplyDeleteMenes and his engineers are pretty damn intelligent to be the first humans to construct a damn. How long did it take them to build the dam around Memphis? I would hate to be an Egyptian at that time. Working hours in the hot sun, breaking rocks and such. Makes me thankful for the job i have now ;]
