+# Course Policy
+
+I will detail the policy for this course below. Basically, don't cheat and try to learn 
+stuff. Don't be that guy.
+
+## Grading Policy
+
+- **20%** of your grade will be determined by a midterm during normal class hours.
+
+- **20%** of your grade will be determined by a term paper that documents your appreciation 
+of Foghat's "Slow Ride", the most important song ever written. "Slow Ride" is what Mozart 
+wishes *Don Giovanni* could have been.
+
+- **10%** of your grade will be determined by your attendance and participation in class. 
+Generally, ask questions and answer them.
+
+- **20%** of your grade will be determined by a 20-page term paper on when exactly 
+"The Love Boat" jumped the proverbial shark. You will address whether this shark-jumping 
+can be attributed to Ted McGinley, the introduction of Jill Whelan as "Vicki", or some 
+other cause.
+
+- **30%** of your grade will be determined by a final exam.
+
+## Attendance Policy
+
+```{r, include=FALSE}
+options(scipen=999)
+Attend <- read.csv("attend-grade-relationships.csv")
+M1 <- lm(rgrade ~ perattend, Attend)
+M2 <- lm(rgrade ~ perattend, data=subset(Attend, perattend >= 75))
+library(broom)
+
+M1df <- tidy(M1)
+M2df <- tidy(M2)
+library(ggplot2)
+library(kfigr)
+```
+
+> *Showing up is 80 percent of life* -- Woody Allen, [via Marshall Brickman](http://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/06/10/showing-up/#note-6553-1)
+
+Students should be weary of skipping class. I deduct *all* participation points for a class 
+after five unexcused absences and this can have important implications for a student's 
+overall grade in the class. There is already a strong positive correlation between the 
+percentage of classes a student has attended in the course and the student's final grade for 
+the semester (*r* = `r round(cor(Attend$perattend, Attend$rgrade, use="complete.obs"), 3)`) for 
+all `r nrow(Attend)` students I have taught since Fall 2014. 
+
+A simple linear regression of a student's final grade on percentage of classes attended for 
+the semester for all classes I have taught since Fall 2014 suggests an increase of one percent 
+in attendance for the semester leads to an estimated increase of `r round(M1$coefficients[2], 3)` 
+in the student's final grade. Whereas one missed classes constitutes about a five-percent 
+decrease in percentage attendance for the semester, one missed class means an estimated 
+decrease of `r round(M1$coefficients[2], 3)*5` in the overall grade. The effect of attendance 
+on the final grade for the class is precise (*t* = `r round(M1df$statistic[2], 3)`) and the 
+likelihood that there is no actual relationship between attendance and final grade for the 
+semester is almost zero. This simple linear model with just one predictor (attendance) provides 
+a good fit as well (R$^2$ = `r round(summary(M1)$r.squared, 3)`). See 
+`r figr("attendplot", TRUE, type="Figure")` in this document.
+
+```{r attendplot, dev = "png", echo = FALSE, results="asis", cache=FALSE, fig.cap="A Scatterplot of the Relationship between Class Attendance and Final Grade", fig.height=4, fig.pos="H"}
+Graph <- ggplot(Attend, aes(x = perattend, y = rgrade))
+Graph + geom_point() + labs(x="Percent Attendance in Class", y="Final Grade in Class (0-100)") + 
+                              geom_smooth(method=lm)
+```
+
+A student might object that attendance is partly endogenous to a grade since past classes deducted 
+all participation points after five unexcused absences. This is true, but the findings 
+hold even when I subset the data to cases where attendance is greater than 75% (i.e. 
+roughly the threshold below which I deduct all participation points). Students who just meet 
+the threshold for full participation points nevertheless get an estimated decrease of 
+`r round(M2$coefficients[2], 3)*5` in their overall grade for each missed class. This effect 
+is also precise (*t* = `r round(M2df$statistic[2], 3)`). Put another way, we would have 
+observed this effect in my data if there were no *true* effect of attendance on grades 
+about `r round(summary(M2)$coefficients[2,4]*100000)` times in 100,000 "trials" 
+(i.e. *p* = `r round(summary(M2)$coefficients[2,4], 5)`), on average. That probability is 
+effectively zero. *Attend class*.
+
+## Late Arrival of the Professor Policy
+
+My current university, from what I have been told, asks professors to have policies written 
+into their syllabus about what students should do if the professor is more than 15 minutes 
+late to class. This seems like an anachronism. I will inform students via e-mail in advance 
+of class if class is cancelled for the day. I will also contact our department secretary if 
+something happened on the way to work. Failing that, assume the worst happened to me. I ask 
+the students make sure that my story gets the proper treatment on an *Investigation 
+Discovery* show. I also ask that my story be narrated by Keith Morrison.
+
+## E-mail Policy
+
+I am usually quick to respond to student e-mails. However, student e-mails tend to do several 
+things that try my patience. I have a new policy, effective Fall 2016, that outlines why I 
+will not respond to certain e-mails students send. Multiple rationales follow.
+
+1. The student could answer his/her own inquiry by reading the syllabus.
+2. The student missed class for which there was no exam. I do not need to know the exact 
+reason for a missed class. Students with excusable absences are responsible for giving me 
+a note *in hard copy* that documents the reason for the missed class. An e-mail is 
+unnecessary unless the impromptu absence involved missing a midterm or final.
+3. The student wants to know what topics s/he missed during a class s/he skipped. The answer 
+is always "you missed what was on the syllabus."
+4. The student is protesting a grade without reference to specific points of objection. 
+See the policy on protesting a grade in the syllabus. These e-mails tend to be expressive 
+utility on the part of the student and do not require a response from me. Students interested 
+in improving their knowledge of material should see me during office hours.
+5. The students wants to know how many classes s/he missed at some point during the semester. 
+I assume the student has a better answer to that question than me until the end of the semester.
+6. The student is requesting an extension on an assignment for which the syllabus already 
+established the deadline. The answer is always "no".
+7. The student is ["grade grubbing"](https://www.math.uh.edu/~tomforde/GradeGrubbing.html) 
+or asking to round up a grade. The answer is always "no".
+8. The student is asking for an extra credit opportunity, a request that amounts to more 
+grading for the professor. The answer is "no".
+
+
+## Make-Up Exam Policy
+
+There are **NO** make-ups for missed exams. Don't bother asking.
+
+## Academic Dishonesty Policy
+
+Don’t cheat. Don’t be that guy. Yes, you. You know exactly what I’m talking about too.
+
+## Disabilities Policy
+
+Federal law mandates the provision of services at the university-level to qualified 
+students with disabilities. Make sure to include all that relevant information here.
+
+\newpage
+
+# Class Schedule
+
+Students must read the following before Tuesday's class session.  Important: class readings 
+are subject to change, contingent on mitigating circumstances and the progress we make as 
+a class.  Students are encouraged to attend lectures and check the course website for updates. 
+

+### I might use it mostly for the ability to put GIFs in class presentations, but it's flexible enough to do almost anything.

+# Conclusion
+
+Xaringan is a nifty Rstudio add-on/package for creating HTML presentations.
+
+- I think I'm still more inclined toward Beamer but Xaringan has tons of flexibility.
+- Have an interactive component to your presentation (e.g. `leaflet` or a Shiny app)? You probably want Xaringan.
+
+Plus, you can put GIFs into your presentation with Xaringan. That's nifty. Maybe students will like that.
