Homework, Quiz, and Lab:
Attendance and Tardines Policies: If you miss a class, you may review the class notes that I post daily on Moodle. Attendance counts toward 5% of the grade. If you are consistently late to class (3 minutes or more), I will ask you not to attend the class until you resolve your time conflict.
Nonacademic electronic devices: You are not allowed to use any nonacademic electronic devices (Ipods, Ipads, MP3 players, cell phones, etc.) during the class time. If you bring your cell phone into the class, you MUST turn off the ringer.
Midterm Exams: There will be two in-class midterm exams on January 27th and February 24th.
Final exam: A comprehensive final exam will be given on Monday March 16th at 8:00 in our classroom. The final is required for all students. There is no early final exam.
There are no make-ups for missed quizzes, labs or exams.
