A curve is not applied to each exam or paper individually. Grades will be posted outside of the classroom one week after the exam. According to your written consent, grades will be posted using either the last 4 digits of your social security number, or a 4-digit number that you make up. Attendance in class is not graded, but new material will be included in lectures that will be on the exams. If you do miss class, you should get notes from a classmate.
Discussion is an important part of the class.
Please feel free to ask questions and make comments regarding the material in class. Material that is presented in the film clips is considered to be lecture material and may appear on the exams. If you miss an exam, that is the exam that will be dropped. You should take all four exams since illness and other emergencies cannot be predicted. Eating is acceptable during this lunchtime class.
