Homework will be assigned daily for collection the following day.
Attendance will be taken for the first week only; you are responsible for material presented in class unless you notify me of an absence--in person, by phone or e-mail--beforehand.
Any exam conflicts (including absences for interviews or meetings) must be settled prior to the exam date.
Any and all questions are welcome anytime my office door is open. If we seem to have a perpetual schedule conflict, call (2-4596), or e-mail me or see me after class to arrange an appointment.
