Note: Information beyond that which is included in your text will be covered during class lectures. You will
be responsible for this material since it will be covered on the tests. So, if you miss a class session, it is advisable to
contact other students to learn about the nature of the material that you missed.
It is your responsibility to arrive to class on time in order to avoid disruption to the lecture and other students. If
you do arrive late for some reason, please enter the classroom quietly and take the nearest seat that is available
to you. Also, please turn cell phones off (or on "vibrate") while the class is in session.
It is in your best interest to not miss any of the exams. Make-up examinations will only be granted with approval
of the instructor. If you cannot take an exam on the scheduled date, you need to submit a written notice
(e-mail is fine), with any supporting justification (e.g., a doctor's note), before the exam date if possible.Ê
Your statement, and possibly a meeting with the instructor, will be used to decide whether a make-up test
is allowable.
