assignments cannot be made up

. If you are unable to attend class you should notify the instructor in

advance. Failure to attend class is likely to result in a lower grade for the course.

Grades will be based on exams, and various assignments both in-class and take home, and a final

project.

A = 90-100% B = 80-89% C = 70-79% D = 60-69% F = below 60%

All assignments are to be turned in on their due dates. Assignments turned in late will not be accepted

missed without notifying the instructor in advance will result in 1 letter grade dropped per day until
