- Class attendance is expected and will be checked from time to
time. If you have to miss a class for a valid reason, notify me in
advance.
- There will be approximately 5 announced quizzes given during the
semester. No make-up quizzes will be given, but the one with the lowest
score may be dropped.
- Homework problems will be assigned and collected approximately once every two
weeks and will be posted on my web page. No late homework will be accepted.
- There will be two midterm exams and a comprehensive final exam.
There will be no make-up exams except in extremely unusual
circumstances.
- Any office hour may be canceled due to illness or necessary
appointments, students should therefore not depend upon a faculty
member being in his/her office for a particular office hour. Students
should secure any necessary signatures or other such requirements well
in advance of any deadline.

section, only you can enroll for the course. It is the student's
responsibility to complete the registration process before the dates
indicated in the Schedule of Classes.
- Please refer to the university policy and deadlines for
withdrawals. It is the student's responsibility to withdraw from the
course. The instructor has no obligation to withdraw students who do
not attend classes, and may choose not to do so.

verified
disability should be submitted within the first two weeks with all
necessary documentation.
