•  Late assignments will not be accepted. I am strict about this.  Homework solutions are available right after an assignment is due and I cannot accept any assignments submitted after that. All due dates and time are listed in the dropbox associated with the assignments. Please check the schedule and be sure of the due dates (except for participation assignments which are due one week from each class). You must use the homework submission system (drop box) through d2l. If there are problems with the submission system, you may email me a copy of the assignment BEFORE the due time.                         

•  The exams open books and notes. Calculators and electronic devices are not needed and not allowed. The final is not comprehensive.

• Makeups of exams must be arranged before the scheduled time.

• Class attendance/ viewing of the online lecture is essential as lectures may cover topics outside the readings.  

  • About class participation:
    • For in class students: Attendance is expected for this class. To earn the full participation point for each class you must be in class for at least 80% of the class time (156 minutes).  Also if there’s a documentable and acceptable reason (such as being sick with a doctor’s slip, or a note from your manager about work responsibility), make up for the participation points can be considered. Also check each week's participation exercises in the drop box list. There may be additional activities (e.g. reading assignment) that is to be completed before the next class, and are counted towards your participation points. 2 points are assigned for each week (excluding the final) with a maximum of 20 pts total.
    • For Online Learning students: Viewing of the lecture is expected.  Check each week's participation exercises in the drop box list. There may also be additional activities (e.g. reading assignment) that is to be completed before the next class, and are counted towards your participation points. 2 points are assigned for each week (excluding the final) with a maximum of 20 pts total.
