If a student is on the borderline between grades I will take attendance into account in assigning a final grade. Absolutely no late work will be accepted without the prior consent of the instructor. Students who are more than 10 minutes late to lab will not be allowed to take the pre-lab quiz for that week. Students will be allowed to drop the three lowest pre-lab quiz scores to allow for unavoidable tardiness. Any student who is more than 20 minutes late for lab will be counted absent for that lab and will not be allowed to do the lab exercise on that day.
Lab reports are due at the end of the lab period on the day that the lab exercise is done.
Any student who misses an exam for any reason will take a comprehensive make-up exam during the last week of the semester. Students are expected to behave like adults and to show proper respect for their classmates. Any electronic device that generates sounds that are audible to other students will not be allowed in class. Please deactivate cell phones and alarms before coming to class and place pagers on silent mode. Under no circumstances will anyone carry on a telephone conversation during this class.
