The exams are not cumulative. The format of the exams will be discussed before each exam. The last exam is given during finals week and is tentatively scheduled for Thurs. Attendance is your responsibility. This is a survey course and failure to attend class will result in your missing valuable information and material.
All students are solely responsible for material missed as a result of absences.
I will drop students only if I feel there have been excessive absences indicating that a student is no longer participating in the course. Only in extreme cases of emergency beyond the student's control will I consider an incomplete. Students may not engage in any activity or behavior that distracts other students from the learning process . If you bring a newspaper or other material to the class, please put it away at the beginning of class. You may not disturb those sitting near you by talking during lecture and classroom discussions.
