No late work will be accepted. If you will not be in class on the day homework is due, you may scan and email your homework to me by the deadline. Homework assignments will be posted in Canvas and will be due most weeks (exceptions will be generally during exam weeks).
There will be 4 regular exams during the semester (see outline below). No individual make-up exams will be given without prior arrangements and at the discretion of the instructor.
The final exam will be comprehensive. Students who have 2 or fewer classes absences may use their final exam to replace their lowest exam grade.

Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered. All absences are considered to be unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies. It is the student’s responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval by the faculty member. Approved college-sponsored activities are also excused absences. 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. Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless the absence is documented and excused by the instructor. Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course’s objectives. Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)
Last day to withdraw from a 16-week course with a “W” is Thursday, November 8, 2018.
