EXAMINATION POLICY: It is the responsibility of the student to take all of the exams at the scheduled times, except in very unusual circumstances. If you must miss an exam you must inform me (the instructor) in advance of the reason for your absence and present proof of your excuse. Make sure that I am aware of any memorandum showing that you will be participating in a University sponsored trip.
ASSIGNMENT POLICY: Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the assigned date. Late assignments are penalized 50% for each class day that they are late. Assignments are to be individual efforts - that is, each person's assignment should be uniquely their own. Any assignments which are found to be duplicates or near duplicates will receive a grade of 0. Assignments will be covered on the tests. Specific READING ASSIGNMENTS will not be made. It is your responsibility to read the chapters BEFORE they are covered in class, even if no specific reading assignments are made. Assignments must generally be printed.
