IMPORTANT NOTES:
Please do NOT email me your  homework.

I do NOT accept late assignments under any circumstances and for any reason.  Do NOT ask--I will say NO.

I do NOT accept papers that are not stapled together.

All assignments must have the following printed on the front page:  Your name, the assignment page number and exercise number.

Errors can affect your grade.  Pay close and careful attention to all instructions on each exercise.

Attendance:  Missing 2 or more classes constitutes an automatic failure in this course.  If you leave class during the lecture part of class, it will count as an absence.

Lateness:  If you are more than 5 minutes late for any class, it will count as an absence.  For every lateness you have, 10 points will be deducted from your quiz grade.

I reserve the right to raise or lower grades based on attendance, class contribution, participation, attitude and/or other subjective values.
