Classroom Policies:
Missed Classes:
Attendance is expected. Unannounced quizzes, tests, and class projects can be
made-up only when the instructor excuses students prior to class. You are responsible for the
activities of each class period. If you know of a conflict ahead of time, you are welcome to
submit assignments early. Recognizing the importance of student participation and interaction
with classmates, excessive absences necessitate failure in the class.
Assignments:
All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the date due unless specified
prior. Late assignments receive one-half credit minus errors. All late assignments are due before
the final examination is administered. Make sure the class name, your name, date due, and
exercise number appear in the upper-right corner. If handing in multiple pages, sequence them
according to the order in the exercise, and staple in the upper left corner.
