Except in cases of medical emergency or death in your immediate family, failure to make advance arrangments with me will result in a grade of zero for any exam missed. The final exam cannot be rescheduled or taken at an alternate time . At this point, take a break from reading the syllabus and send me an e-mail telling me whether the Monday evening exams are going to work for you. If I receive your e-mail by 5 pm on Monday, Sept 11 th , you will receive 5 pts extra credit. It's my way of saying thank you for your diligence in attending to these matters.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the day stated on the assignment.
They will not be accepted late. To accomodate the fact that emergencies will arise, I will drop your lowest score on each set of assignments before calculating your final grade. You are not in competition with your fellow students, only with the material.
