Attendance is required for all the class meetings and tests. If you will be
absent for an exam due to circumstances beyond control, let me know in advance
so that we can arrange a make-up test. Students who miss an exam without informing
me prior to the exam will receive a 0 on that exam.
5. Academic Honesty
The instructor will deal strictly with any violations of academic honesty and
integrity in this course. See Academic Integrity Policy for more details. Any student who violates this
policy receives zero point for the work and is subject to a reduction of the
final grade of this course (up to "F"). The instructor will report
the case to the university.
Please read the textbook sections in advance, attend all the lectures and start on homework early. If you need any help, please see me during my office hours, email me, or make an appointment. I am more than happy to help you.
