Collaboration on homework is acceptable and occasionally desirable. It is to your advantage, however, to be able to solve the problems yourself as you may be asked to do so on exams. Homework is to be handed in on time . Late homework will be automatically dropped one letter grade to prevent those who have put forth the effort to complete the exercise on time from being penalized. The final exam will be comprehensive, covering the entire semester.
Exams are to be taken when scheduled .
You will not be allowed to take any exam on a date and time other than that scheduled unless you have a verifiable medical emergency. If other circumstances force you to take an exam at a non-scheduled time, your grade will automatically be dropped one letter grade. The final exam will be cumulative, but emphasis will be placed on new material. Attendance is expected for all class and laboratory sessions, including scheduled exams. Occasionally, circumstances will occur where an absence is warranted.
