The goal is to provide everyone with an opportunity to learn as much as they desire. Always feel free to ask questions and to take part in class discussions. To obtain a satisfactory grade in this course, the following are some time-tested techniques which should help. Believe it or not, even if you are not at your best, just being in class always helps. Do not fall behind and think that you will be able to catch up later in the course.
Late penalties are severe and work often builds on previous work.
Informing the Instructor a week or more after the fact will not be received well and penalties accrue until the Instructor is notified. Therefore, if you can, contact a classmate as soon as possible to learn what was covered that day and to obtain notes, handouts, announcements, etc. Missing a class is NO excuse for late work. You MUST get the assignment turned in when it is due. This might require you to turn it in early, send it with a classmate, or even fax it or e-mail it in.
