Attendance

Attendance is the responsibility of the student. Historically, students who miss several classes tend to receive one grade lower than other students.

I will give "make-up" exams only in the case of emergencies. The student is responsible for notifying me before the scheduled test.

Assignments

Assignments are due at class time on the specified date. Late assignments will not be accepted.

Cheating

If I find assignments that are copies of each other, all students involved will receive a zero for the assignment.
