At other times I'll only check that you seriously attempted every problem assigned, in which case you'll earn one point for each problem attempted. Homework missed for an excused absence should be turned in no later than one class period after the absence. Homework missed because of an unexcused absence can only be made up at my discretion. It is expected that you will read the book at or ahead of where we are in class, even if I don't specifically assign readings. Quizzes or in-class assignments may be given and will usually count as one or two homework assignments.
All students take the final exam.
You are expected to adhere to the honor system. Any form of cheating, plagiarism, etc. will not be tolerated. Specifically, while solving homework problems you may seek assistance from other students or myself if you are having troubles, but only after you make serious attempts yourself. You may only communicate with the instructor during tests. It is to your advantage to regularly attend and actively participate in class.
