Problems from the book will not usually be assigned, although sometimes I will tell you some appropriate ones to work or not work on the study guides. Otherwise, the more you work the better your grade will be. The synthesis problems will begin in chapter 8. There are also old tests on file on the homepage, and there are other old tests from other books in the library and on the homepage covering the material differently from previous semesters. I will be able to tell you what goes with the current book if you ask me.
Absences are to be avoided.
Excused absences are as determined by the University Regulations. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact the Director of Counseling.
