The student should notify me via e-mail or phone at least two hours prior to the absence. In general, I do not give make-up exams. The large amount of material to be covered dictates that students must do a considerable amount of learning outside of class. Collaborative learning exercises will be used to guide these outside efforts. All tests will be announced at least one class in advance.
Labs are to be handed in at the beginning of class on the dates shown below or announced in class.
I will provide you with test data to be used for the test runs that you hand in. It is imperative that you do the readings below before each class period. Final grades will be based on test average, laboratory exercises, and in-class performance. You must have a passing average on the exams in order to pass the course.
