    There are three-chapter examinations and a written final examination. The first examination covers Chapters1 through 8, the second examination covers Chapters 9 through 16, and the third examination covers 17 through 26. The final examination will cover all the material presented in the course.

OTHER

Students are expected to keep up with course material.

You must do your own work.

Any student who misses an exam will be able to make up the exam within one week of the date the student returns to class. If the student did not give prior notice before the exam, the grade on a make-up exam will be reduced by 20%. .

I reserve the right to raise or lower grades based on subjective values such as attitude, class participation, preparation, understanding of material, etc. This syllabus may change.

   Thank you,

   Professor Basilico
