Additional guidelines for the makeup paper will be available. The paper option is available on only one midterm exam and is not available for the final. If you miss the final and have a documented excuse, you can take an essay makeup the following semester and the incomplete grade will changed at that time. There will be three exams, each worth 100 points. The final is not cumulative.
Late homeworks receive half credit.
There will be six homeworks, each worth 20 points. Participation will be assigned a grade from 1 to 20 points, based on both quality and quantity of contribution throughout the semester. If you would like to have an assignment regraded, please return it to me with a written rationale within a week of receiving the graded assignment. If asked to regrade, I reserve the right to change the grade up or down. Written Communication Skills .
