CLASS PERIOD:
Lecture 2:15 - 3:15 pm MWF, JSC 222 Lab 2:00 ? 3:50 Thursday, JSC 222
ATTENDANCE:
Regular attendance is required and expected for both lecture and lab. If you must miss a lecture class due to other obligations, please be sure to get the notes from someone else in the course and check with me to see if there are any materials you need to pick up. As the lab is an integral part of the course, failure to attend and/or turn in three or more laboratory exercises will result in an `F' for the class regardless of your performance in other areas of the class (exams, homework, etc.).
VIDEOS:
There are numerous good videos available for this course and we will see some of them. Most of the videos will be on reserve in the Prevo Science Library. We will see a few videos during class time and I will announce when these will be. You are responsible for the material in the videos therefore I strongly encourage you to pay attention as you watch.
HOMEWORKS and QUIZZES:
Several homework assignments will be given during the course of the semester. No late assignments will be accepted. On occasion I will give a quiz from the readings, videos and lecture material. These will be unannounced and cannot be made-up.
EXAMINATIONS:
One-hour exams are scheduled approximately once every four weeks. See the attached lecture syllabus for the appropriate dates. NO MAKE-UP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN EXCEPT FOR DOCUMENTED EMERGENCIES. The final exam will be given on the scheduled date and will be COMPREHENSIVE. The final exam MAY NOT be taken at any other time than the officially scheduled time.
