Make-up policy NO make-up exams or quizzes will be given. A
missed exam may be made up only in the event of a verifiable,
unavoidable absence (e.q., a doctor’s note is necessary
if illness is an excuse). Failure to take the final
exam will result in a grade of “F” for the course Attendance policy
A sign-in sheet will be passed around each class
day, except on test days. Please, sign each one in the same way. A
student is considered present only if he/she has arrived on time and
remains until the class is dismissed. Coming to class late or leaving
early is disruptive and thus discouraged. The instructor may drop
a student from the roll for exceeding four class absences. Students
are responsible for all material cove- red in the book and in
class. Those who have excellent attendance but are on a grade
borderline will get extra consideration at the end of the class. Cheating/Plagiarism
All work submitted for grading must be your own. A first occurrence
of cheating/plagiarism will result in a grade of “O” for all
concerned parties, as well as a form indicating academic dishonesty
will be filed with the Dean of Students. A second occurrence will result in a grade of “F” for the course for the concerned parties, with a transcript. |

Homework The homework is the most important part of the course.
No matter how well you think you understand the material presented
in class, you won't really learn it until you do the problems. Late
homework will not be accepted except in very unusual circumstances.
We will, however, drop the lowest homework and quiz grade. You are
free to devise whatever strategy for learning the material suits you
best. This may involve collaboration with other students. We believe,
however, that most people will get the maximum benefit from the homework
if they try hard to do all the problems themselves before consulting
others. In any case, whatever you turn in should represent your own
solution, expressed in your own words, even if this solution was arrived
at with help from someone else. Remember, you are doing the homework
in order to learn the material; don't try to defeat the purpose of
it. Do not get behind your work. As a guide, consider spending 2 hours
of your time studying for each hour of class time. On a test
you must be able to work the problems within the period of time allowed.
Therefore, it is recommended, as part of your preparation for
each test , that you select 8 to 10 problems and try to work them
within a period of one hour. The quizzes will consist of 2-3 problems
usually selected from the problems assigned as homework.
