The final exam is not comprehensive. I will not hold make-up exams unless a student has a very valid reason for missing it. In my opinion, there are very few valid reasons for missing an exam. These homework assignments will require the use of word processing, spreadsheet, and optimization software tools. You will have a maximum of 6 assignments during the course of the semester.
All assignments are due at the beginning of class.
Due dates for assignments will be announced at least one week ahead of time. No late submissions will be accepted. For example, if you are not clear about a concept being discussed in the class, please ask questions. I consider asking questions as a very important form of class participation. Also, if you have an interesting experience or insight that either supports or contradicts the concept being discussed, please share it with the class.
