Make certain to obtain any handouts and assignments as well. I will have extra copies in my office but generally do not bring them to subsequent lectures. Please arrive before the beginning of lecture so as not to disturb your fellow students. Only people enrolled in the class are allowed in the classroom. Turn off all cell phones, pagers etc.
All new material builds on previous material.
While I generally consider the textbook to be a supplement to the lectures, make certain to read all of the chapters marked with an asterisk in the tentative schedule. I may refer to any material from these chapters on an exam even if I did not explicitly cover that material in lecture. For essay questions, you are expected to answer each question clearly, concisely and logically, using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation. You must take the make up exam within two days of returning to class. You must take the final exam to receive credit for this course.
