Based on the class's participation in discussion and performance on quizzes, we might see a need to have some short assignments to clarify the material. Quizzes are, therefore, primarily designed to evaluate the class's understanding and not to determine individual student's grades. Thus the quizzes will not individually contribute much toward your final grades. Also, quizzes may be given without notice and cannot be made up. However, your lowest quiz grade will be dropped in calculating your final grade.
All assignments are individual.
Students may not, for example, work together on a lab assignment and then make two copies to hand in or copy someone else's assignments and make a few changes. This is as unethical and as unacceptable as it would be to copy an English or History paper. All work which is handed in under your name must be entirely your own effort. College policy concerning academic dishonesty states that you will receive no credit for the work involved, and a record of the infraction may, at the instructor's discretion, be placed in your permanent file. Late assignments Assignments are to be turned in at the beginning of class on the due date.
