Course Policies
Homework Policy: Homework exercises will be assigned. Please see
the course website. All assignments must be turned in on time. Late
assignments are NOT accepted. Even though not every
problem in an assignment may be
graded, you are expected to attempt all of them.
Attendance: Attendance at all classes will be recorded
and is mandatory. Please make sure you read and fully understand the
Department’s
Attendance Policy. This policy
will be strictly enforced.

final examination
Makeup Exam Policy: There will be
No make-up EXAMS

rare circumstances where the student has a legitimate reason for missing the
final exam, a makeup exam will be administered by the math department. In
any case the student must notify the
Math Department Office and the
Instructor that the exam will be missed and present written
verifiable proof of the reason for missing the exam, e.g., a doctors note,
police report, court notice, etc., clearly stating the date AND time of the
mitigating problem.
Further Assistance: For further questions, students should
contact their Instructor. All Instructors have regular office hours during
the week. These office hours are listed at the link above by clicking on the
