Class attendance is very important. If you missed a class, for any reason, please contact me as soon as possible for any in-class exercise, homework assignment and material covered. No make-up test will be given and any missing test will be assigned zero.
If you have a question, please feel free to ask. Please do not let it skip. Everything you learn is a building block for the next topic. Should you find yourself behind the class, please discuss it with me after the class and make an arrangement to catch up. Please don't wait until the last minute for it would be very difficult for both of us to work out plans.
Plagiarism is prohibited. All class exercises, homework assignments, and tests are individual work unless you are assigned a group project. Do your best but don't copy someone else's. Anyone found cheating or does not participate in the group project will receive zero on that exercise, homework, test, or specified group project.
All late assignments will be accepted with penalty: within 1 day -----> 5 points within 1 week ----> 10 points within 2 weeks ---> 20 points within 3 weeks ---> 30 points No late assignments will be accepted after 3 weeks.
All work turned in must be typed unless specified otherwise. You are required to place course number, section number, assignment number, and your name on the upper left cornor of the first page.
Please save all your graded tests, homework assignments, and projects. Should there is any arguments about your final grade, this is your only proof.
