About course calendars
One of the most important terms on the calendar is the word Tentative. This is because, for various reasons, the schedule remains quite flexible over the course of the semester. I may need to change the timing of things based on factors such as number of students in the class, how many drop out, and our progress through the material.

Some things to remember:
Speaker Day Policy:
There are numerous reasons that a student might not be able to speak on a particular day. Some are valid reasons, and others are not.
Please do not assume that because you couldn’t make a speech day that you will be able to make-up the speech. The only way a students is able to make up a speech is if they have discussed their absence with me in person (not email, not via notes), and I have approved the make-up. I will approve make-ups for situations that are discernibly out of the student’s control, or are directly related to medical-health emergencies. Planned absences, job-related training sessions, visits to long-lost relatives in some other country, the death of family animals, and trips to the DMV are examples of absences that bear no relationship to class attendance and performance. They may be personal, just as this class is, and your decision to commit yourself to it.
If you discover difficulties in your negotiation of priorities
after having committed to the course,
that is a problem for which you will have to claim responsibility.
Second, please do not assume that if you do get a make-up a speech that it will happen within the same round as everyone else. We may have run out of time, and it is unfair to everyone else to lose precious preparation time in class just to hear speeches that could or should have been delivered earlier, when scheduled.
If you are allowed a make-up, there are some things you should know: (1) if there is time in the round, you will be put on stand-by for each available day after your scheduled day; (2) if there is no time then, you may have to deliver the speech to the professor solo, without an audience; (3) if your reasons for missing the speech are less than valid, but the professor allows the make-up out of grace, you will only be able to recover half the points for the assignment, as it falls under the category of a late assignment, and the syllabus clearly states that late assignments can achieve no more that half credit.
