Policy and dates
- Policy on attendance Students are required to
attend all lectures. The penalty for unexcused absences is:
-
| 2-3 absences: |
grade penalty |
| 4 absences: |
F on the course |
In addition to regular quizzes, there will be pop quizzes. They are
the means by which I record attendance. Missing a quiz, or failing to
collect one, each counts as an absence.
- Grading policy

``Participation'' refers to attending the
help sessions . Those students who cannot attend at the posted
dates, and do not want to be penalised, must contact me for
alternative arrangement. Contacting me is done in person, I do not
keep track of e-mail.
The score on the final will replace the lower score of the two partial
exams if the student is in good standing, meaning: satisfactory record
of class attendance (not more than 2 absences) and adequate participa-
tion in help sessions (score of at least one).
