The exams will be given on schedule. Mark your calendars now. Make-up exams will not be given. If an exam is missed, your total points possible will be adjusted accordingly. The schedule is flexible.
Much material is required.
It is not possible for an instructor to cover all the course material without student independent study. As students are interested in a particular topic or as test scores warrant review, more time will be spent on a chapter, or as may be required. Homework serves as a focus of class discussion.
