You can do OWL homework at any computer with an internet connection and a web browser. The homework is closely tied to the text and you should have the text with you as you work on the problems. To receive credit for a problem, you must finish it before the posted due date. Do not wait until the last minute to do the homework, you may not be able to get into the system and the system does not permit special exceptions for late homework. In the event that the system is down for a long period, the due date will be extended for the entire class.
All exams are multiple choice.
Since exams are given during regularly scheduled class hours, make-up exams will not be given except in extraordinary circumstances. If you miss one of the three in-class exams due to illness or other valid reasons, the weight given to the final will be increased to make up for the missed exam. In order to get full credit for a missed in-class exam via the final you must discuss your situation with me before the exam. A substantial amount of meteorological information will be presented in the course via graphs, maps and images. Some mathematics, at the level of high school algebra, will be used.
