General Information
If you have questions solving homework problems, studying for exams, etc., send me an email with the question. I will respond to all students, “A student asked the following question…” so you will not be identified.
Homework
Homework is due at the beginning of class on the due date.
Homework is assigned to help you practice applying the principles you learn in class. Late homework will receive a maximum grade of 50%. After 24 hours, late HW will receive a grade of 0%.
In-class work
I may occasionally give in-class work to help you learn the material. This may be paper-based or electronic, and it may be graded.
Exams
Final Exam: 8:00 AM Monday, Nov. 23
Exams missed with certified medical excuses or prior instructor approval will be dealt with individually.
General Rules
- Turn your video on but mute your microphone.
- You should be dressed and sitting upright.
