Attendance.
During the class meetings we will discuss some topics and examples that are not in the textbook. The textbook is a road map, not an exposition of the course content. You should plan to attend each class.

Assignments.
I will give assignments which I will grade. The work you submit for grading should be your own, independent work.

Examinations.
During the semester I will give one in-class exam on a date that I will announce in advance.
The date for the final exam is Wednesday, June 28.
I will not give a make-up exam for the in-class exam. I will excuse you from the in-class or final exam only if you present substantial documentation of a serious illness or personal emergency that prevented your attendance.

Grades.
I will compute your grade from a course average with the following weights:
assignments - 40%
two in-class exams - each 15%
final exam - 30%.

Blackboard
I will post material for this course on Blackboard.

Notice.
I do not permit my classes to be recorded.
I enforce the College policies that prohibit eating and drinking in classrooms. Please cooperate by respecting these regulations.
