No make-up exams or incompletes will be given. The 1st missed exam will be assigned the final exam grade but the second will be assigned a zero. The final exam is comprehensive and missing it will obtain a zero. All lectures plus assigned readings or homework are fair game for test questions. All test scores are curved.
Homework assignments are very helpful in mastering the concepts and techniques presented.
I strongly suggest that you meet in groups to complete homework assignments and study and that you complete assignments before they are due. Homework assignments are not graded but are for your edification.
