As shown on the syllabus, no examinations are normally scheduled for this course. Homework - As can be seen above, homework is one of the most critical components of your learning the material, as well as in determining your grade. It is due as indicated when assigned. Many of the homework assignments are developed over a period of several lectures and hence it is critical that you 'stay on top of the problems' as they are covered in class.
Late homework is unacceptable.
Think about it. Attendance - Attendance in this course is not optional. Class roll will be called on an occasional basis and short quizzes given. The EG Division attendance policy is in effect. He will certainly do his darndest to make this true.
