Late assignments will be penalized a full letter grade per day. No assignment over one week late will be accepted once the last week of classes has begun. No late assignment will be accepted after the last class of the semester. Of course, exceptions will be made in extraordinary circumstances. You are expected to attend and participate in class, and you must do the reading and homework to participate.
Participation means asking and answering questions.
You may be penalized for poor attendance. In addition, exams will contain much material not from the text. If you must be absent for an examination, please see me 1 week in advance to make alternate arrangements to take the exam. Many assignments will be announced this way. Therefore, make sure your email account is set up and you know how to use it.
