As stated previously, attendance and participation in class discussion are both reflected in the participation grade. Exams can ONLY be missed in the event of illness or death. In the event of illness, the student must provide a doctor's note to be excused from the exam and in the case of death, a funeral notice or obituary card must be provided. Failure to do so will result in an automatic zero for that exam. Your research project will be a group effort and specific information regarding it will follow soon.
All homework assignments are due in class.
You do not have to read more of the reading than is relevant to apply the points asked.
