Homework, Lab, Project and Test Policies:

1. Homework is due at the start of the class period on the due date. Homework will be collected and graded on a random basis. Late homework will not be accepted.
2. There will be two scheduled 50-minute exams and a one-hour and 50-minute final exam. There will be no makeup exams. Final exam and course grades will be available approximately 8 days following the final exam. You can receive your course grades through TRACS or by leaving a stamped, self-addressed envelope with the instructor at the time of the final exam. The course grades will not be posted with names or student numbers by the instructor’s door.
3. Policy on cheating will be: (1) first offense – Zero on the paper being graded; (2) second offense – F in the course grade.
4. Any student who has more than three unexcused absences during the semester will fail the course.

Exams:

1. Two Mid-Term Exams will be arranged during the semester.
2. Final Exam, Week #17, 12:00pm-1:50pm, Monday, May 19, 2008, OCNL 254.
