Failure to meet a reasonable level of these writing skills may result in grade reductions. All examinations will be given only at scheduled times. If there are circumstances where an hourly examination is missed, the comprehensive final examination grade will be substituted for that missed exam. If more than one hourly examination is missed, a grade of zero for that exam will be recorded. If no examinations are missed, the final examination percentage can replace the lowest test grade.
All assignments are due in class.
Late assignments are not accepted. They will be graded in the same manner and averaged with assignments. Even if you do not understand the material, you are expected to have read the relevant chapters for the week before class, so that you are at least familiar with the terms and concepts we will be discussing. Attendance is very important. Reliance on others notes is not an adequate substitute for being in classes and participating in discussion.
