Special Dates
No class: Monday, May 26 Drop Date: Monday, June 2

Attendance I recommend that you attend every class. Those who attend class have a better chance of passing the course.

Late Assignment Policy Assignments are due at the START of class. You lose 1 point off the grade for every 6 hours. You may hand in a nassignment up to 1 week late, I will start the grading for very late assignments at 10 points (50%).

Working Together on Assignments is NOT ALLOWED. There is a large difference between discussing general aspects of the course and discussing specific aspects of an assignment. Do not discuss your solution of a problem with others. Assignments that are too similar will not be graded. With a second occurrence, you will earn an F in the course.
