Homework will be assigned and collected periodically. You may work in groups on homework. Each student in the group must turn in a separate paper. 5383 students will have additional assignments. No late homework will be accepted.

 

Make-up exams will only be possible in very extreme circumstances, and even then your excuse must be properly documented and brought to Dr. Magid's attention in a timely fashion.

Students are expected to attend class. Attendance will be taken. Late arrivals are equivalent to half an absence. If a student has 7 or more absences, the highest grade they can earn is C.

Any student in this course who has a disability that may prevent him or her from fully demonstrating his or her abilities should contact me personally as soon as possible so we can discuss accommodations necessary to ensure full participation and facilitate your educational opportunity.
