Any changes in the schedule will be announced in class. If this condition is not met, a zero will be given for the missed exam. Attendance and class participation are strongly encouraged because the material is difficult and the pace of the class is rapid. The student not understanding a topic presented in class should make every attempt to grasp the material immediately since the material presented in class is cumulative in nature. The student is expected to read the appropriate section of the book covering the material presented in class before the lecture day.
Students are responsible for all material covered in lectures, the text and other assignments.
There will be approximately 3 homework assignments. The due date for the homework will be announced in class. No late homework will be accepted. The typed article write-ups should be one page in length, and are graded on how well you relate the article to the topics covered in this class. Spend the majority of the write-up discussing how it fits in to this class not summarizing the article.
