NOTE ON ATTENDANCE: To get a passing grade in this class, you can only miss ONE class period. If there is an emergency or a situation that cannot be avoided, please speak to me and I will assign work for you outside of class to make up for the missed class credit.

Grades are determined based on attendance, completion of homework, quiz score, participation, and the final exam.

I will not grade each homework assignment individually. You will get credit for at least attempting each assignment. If you do not do your homework for one week, you can still get credit if you finish it and show it to me before the end of the class.
