<>Homework:     It is extremely important that you do your homework assignments in a timely fashion.  Homework will be collected the night of each exam.  All material covered on the exam is due that day.  Each section listed on the assignment sheet is worth one point.  Assignments turned in after the test will receive no credit.  Makeup tests are usually not given.  Only in extreme circumstances will a makeup exam be given.  This is at the discretion of the instructor.  Students must notify instructor BEFORE the day of the exam if they are going to miss the exam.   Only one make-up exam allowed per student!

 

Attendance:  I fully believe attendance is of the utmost importance.  It demonstrates a willingness to achieve and a full commitment to your education.  Attendance points are given at one point per night.  Please be considerate during class time.  Talking during a lecture is inappropriate and is bothersome to those people trying to listen.   Please turn off all cell phones before class begins!

     Please make arrangements with the instructor if you need outside help.  I am more than willing to spend the extra time.  Let me know in advance to set up an appointment.  Please feel free to ask questions before or after class.  If you have any special needs I should be aware of, please let me know privately.

Tests and grading scale:  Look at the student handbook on academic dishonesty.  Cheating will result in an automatic zero.  Look on the assignment sheet for grading scale.

Have a great semester!  Study hard and do your best!
