The professor will determine the letter grades as a curve function of the distribution of scores in the class. The policy of the University is that students are expected to attend class. Therefore the exams will contain questions on material that was presented only in class. Attendance may be taken on any day, at the beginning of the class. The professor normally works at his off-campus office and is on campus only to teach this class.
Office hours are by appointment only.
