Syllabus and Web Material Scavenger Hunt Exercise (15 Points)
Here is your first assignment, should you choose to accept. But first, a little background: One of my pet-peeves is students telling me they understand the syllabus, requirements, location of online materials, etc., and then later get mad at me when they neglect a requirement they said they knew about. I strive to make sure everyone knows my requirements up front. Thus, I created this assignment as a way for you to learn about the course requirements and a few odds and ends about me. Your task is to answer the questions below by searching through the course syllabus and my web-pages at www.academic.scranton.edu/faculty/BURNHAMB2/. You do not have to scavenge the Angel system, because I use that solely for posting materials and for posting grades. Happy scavenging!
