Homework Policies:

▪        A number of Problem Sets will be assigned during the semester.

▪        Problem Sets will be collected at the beginning of the class period on their due dates.

▪        Late homework will not be accepted.

▪        Only hard copies of the assignments will be accepted (NO electronic submissions).

Attendance & Participation:  Students must attend all classes. Absences from class will inhibit your ability to fully participate in class discussions and problem solving sessions and, therefore, affect your grade. Tardiness to class is very disruptive to the Instructor and students and will not be tolerated.

Makeup Exam Policy:  There will be No make-up EXAMS during the semester. In the event the Final Exam is not taken, under 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 Instructor’s name. Teaching Assistants are also available in the math learning center.

Electronic Devices:  All electronic devices (e.g., cellular phones, i-pods, calculators, computers, etc.) must be switched off during all class and exam times.
