Course
Policies

Attendance:

Perfect class attendance is not required, but regular attendance is expected, and a class participation grade will be assigned.
It is the student's responsibility to independently obtain any missed material (including handouts) from lecture.
There will be no make-up exams.

Late Assignments:

First late assignment = grade reduction of 20% , if it is received before the solutions are posted. (Otherwise, the grade will be zero.)
All other late assignments = grade of zero .

Individual Effort: All assignments are assumed to be an individual effort unless otherwise specified by the instructor.
Announcements:

All students are responsible for announcements made in lecture, on the student access website, or via the class email list.
It is expected that you will check your email several times per week for possible course announcements.
