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

See Tiger Lore for details. Unless marked as a team assignment, all work must be by individual students. Penalties range from reduced grades to a zero on the assignment/project/exam, to removal from the program.
