Any student absent from a midterm must produce either medical or family emergency documentation, in which cases the grades among the midterms will be prorated. See the grading page for the formula to be used. The course schedule contains a time table. Please review this very carefully. Do not buy an air ticket or make travel arrangement to leave Boston University before the date of the final examination.
Academic misconduct is a serious offense.
See the Key to Success on web page. Homework Assignments There will be one homework assignment on each week in which there is not a midterm, except the first and the last weeks of class. A homework assignment is due on a student's first discussion section of the week in which the assignment is given. For example, Assignment 1 is due the week of September 10. The Teaching Assistants responsible for discussion sections will collect and return assignments.
