the student is responsible for bringing herself/himself up-to-date on class material and
assignments.
- All students are expected to read the assigned chapters prior to coming to class.
- Cell-phones may not be used during class. If I see you using a cell-phone, I may ask
you to leave the classroom for the rest of the class period.
- Laptops/tablets may only be open/turned on during class period for note taking. If
such use becomes distracting, I will remove this privilege for the rest of the semester.
- Continuous absence or late arrival may result in a warning. If the absence/lateness
continues after the warning, your semester grade will be lowered by 5%.
 - Exams will be based on the combination of: material covered in lectures, the
assigned reading from the textbooks, material covered in the notes, and lab practice.
- All exams are closed books and closed notes.
- All homework assignments are due at the beginning of class on the specified date.
