-
Make-up tests will only be given to student who misses a test due
to an extreme emergency and has notified the instructor within 24 hours
after the exam, or a sufficient time period before the exam. The student
will be expected to provide verification, such as signed statement and
phone number, to verify the reason for his or her absence from the exam.
-
No make-up quizzes will be given.
-
Homework will be assigned and graded. "Study group" is strongly encouraged.
However, each student must hand in their own write-up showing details of
the work (not just answers). If you are having trouble, please see me right
away. A notebook should be maintained which contains all homework exercises
and properly annotated. I recommend that you work on the homework corresponding
to the latest lecture as soon as it is assigned.
-
It is expected that you will make every possible effort to attend all classes.
In boarder line situations, class attendance may affect a student’s grade.
Although I feel that it is essential for you to attend class, no direct
punishment will be assessed to your final grade if you choose not to attend
class. Students who missed class are responsible for finding out any pertinent
information concerning the course from the instructor.
-
Successful students have found that the subject demands frequent intensive
study with lots of problem solving. Participating in group discussions
is always helpful to yourself and others in learning.
-
If you have any special problem or learning difficulties, please see me
immediately.
