Important:
a) Homework problems: It would be to your benefit to do your homework problems on your own.
b) Attendance in lecture class is strongly encouraged. (An attendance sheet is passed around at the beginning of each class period).
c) There will be no makeup for the midterm exam or the final exam. Exams cannot be taken earlier than the dates specified. You will get a zero grade for each missed exam. I only give a make up exam if your are sick or hospitalized. Doctor's note stating your medical reason for not taking the exam is required.
Please observe the following rules while class is in session. These rules are important and must be observed by everyone in class in order to minimize distraction to others. Disruptive behavior will be reported immediately to school security and authorities
1) You are responsible for all changes announced in class, whether you are present or not.
2) Do not talk to anyone next to you during lectures
3) Do not make unnecessary noises to interrupt others from learning .
4) Please do not eat or drink during my lectures.
5) Please turn off your cellphone.
6) Sometimes I might joke around to lighten up the lecture. This is not an invitation for feed back from the class nor the time to draw attention to yourself.
7) Due to my allergy please do not use strong fragrances or heavy musks of any kind when you are near me.
