Students with a documented university-approved excuse will have the weight of the final increased accordingly. In all other cases, a grade of zero will be recorded for that portion of the class. More specific requirements will be supplied when each case is assigned. Additional handout problems will be assigned during class. You are expected to work on assignments on your own.
Homework assignments are due always at the beginning of the class period.
Late materials will be downgraded if they are submitted during the class period. After the class period, homework will not be accepted. Students are encouraged to participate in classroom discussion. Grading of class participation will be based more on the quality than on the quantity of the participation. The best way to prepare for class participation is to read the chapters to be covered in class beforehand.
