All examinations are mandatory.
Tests will be problem solving in nature and may consist of computer-based projects to be done individually or in groups. The final examination may be comprehensive at the discretion of the instructor. Classes are an integral part of the course and failure to attend the class can be expected to limit what you get out of the course. Frequently, we will have to address issues and questions that may not be covered in your textbook. Leaving the classroom while a lecture is in progress is considered disruptive behavior and is totally unacceptable.
