They will contain questions that concentrate on the most recent half of the course, but will assume mastery of material in previous periods. These tests are intended to assess your mastery of the key concepts and relationships investigated each half of the course. You are encouraged to use the College's lab facilities, but you may use your own computer and software resources if they are the same as we use in class. You must learn to budget your time to allow for lab assignments, and you need to develop a sense for when you are stuck and need help. Try not to smoke just before coming to class, and especially try not to smoke just before coming to see me in my office.
Attendance is mandatory.
Excessive absences will be reported to the Registrar's office in accordance with College academic policies. If you are not able to come to class, you need to contact the Dean of Students or myself. Remember that absence from class does not excuse you from assigned work. You will be penalized 10 points for each class meeting an assignment is delayed, including the class at which the assignment is due. I reserve the right to require written documentation for any excused absences or lateness.
