The text will be supplemented with lots of additional reference
materials which will be linked from
this page and/or handed out in class as they are assigned.
Unless otherwise specified, all work that you submit in this course must be your own; unauthorized collaboration is considered academic dishonesty. Please save us both a
lot of trouble by realizing that I will pursue any such transgressions to the fullest
extent possible.
As a rule, late assigments are not
generally accepted (e.g., attempting to hand in an assigment after the start of class
on the due date will result in a grade of 0 for that assignment).
Late assignments will only be accepted under exceptional
circumstances AND with prior arrangement. A penalty may apply.
Your class participation grade will be determined by your on time
attendance to class as well as your participation in classroom discussions.
Pop quizzes, when given, will cover material
previously covered in class, previous homework assignments, and/or simple questions
on the current days reading assignment.
