COURSE SUBJECT OUTLINE
Homework assignments will be due every Monday in class. No late assignments are accepted. The lowest two homework grades will be dropped at the end of the semester.
Exams are paper-and-pencil and will be given during class time on the exam dates. If a student misses a test, the instructor must be notified on or before the test date in order for the student to be able to make-up the exam.
Exam Dates:
Exam #1: Wednesday, February 7
Exam #2: Wednesday, February 28
Exam #3: Wednesday, March 28
Exam #4: Wednesday, April 18
Final Exam: Week of May 7 – 11.
At the end of the semester, students will have the opportunity to re-do and explain test questions on one of the first 4 exams to get back half the points missed. More information and instructions will be posted on Canvas.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered. The instructor is responsible for judging the validity of any reason given for an absence. Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work.
I will not drop students. If you decide to drop the class, it is your responsibility to do the paperwork required.
LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is Thursday, April 5, 2018.
