Additional Information
Although you are not required to attend, you are expected to do so. Class discussion and participation are important.
Consistent attendance and participation will improve your grade if you are close to the cutoff. You will be responsible for all
information and material presented in class, such as lecture and discussion material, announcements regarding scheduling
changes, etc. Please arrive to class on time and avoid leaving early.
No exams may be made up or taken early, except in extenuating circumstances backed up by acceptable documentation. If
you do encounter extenuating circumstances, you must contact me immediately to notify me of your situation. Failure to do
so will result in the lost opportunity for make up. Assignments are due at the beginning of class. Late assignments will lose
points at a rate of 10% per day. A limited number of extra credit points may be earned. If you become interested in extra
credit, see me.
