Except for the first day of class, you should prepare your reading assignments BEFORE the lecture for which they are assigned. Since the lectures complement the text, if you have not read the text beforehand, it is likely that your comprehension of the lectures will be poor. Do not fall behind in your reading, for it will surely be reflected in your grades.
Make-up examinations will be considered only if a written medical excuse from an M.D. is presented.
Lists of terms to be
used in a lecture may be found posted on my web site: http://www.csulb.edu/~dhood/
You should
download the list of lecture
terms and look up the meaning of any terms you do not know before
coming to class.
