Class time will be spent primarily with lectures, but practical exercises and demonstrations will be included. I welcome your questions and relevant contributions to class discussions. You are expected to attend class each day. You are, of course, responsible for announcements and lecture material covered during your absence from class. I will complete a seating chart during the first week of class and periodically check attendance.
Attendance is considered in borderline grade determinations.
Cases of academic dishonesty are dealt with according to policies outlined in the student handbook. You should note that the minimum penalty requires a grade of zero for the assigned task and academic probation for one term for a first offense. I am very interested in your getting a lot out of this course and hope that you enjoy it as well. I will be happy to discuss questions related to the course during my office hours. If you are not free during my office hours, we can schedule a meeting at a mutually convenient time.
