Grading Policy
   
Homeworks and/or Tests/Projects will be given 









	
	
	Attendance Policy
	




                      




	
	Attendance is not required but is strongly 
	recommended since absences can have a negative
	effect on the student's learning and 
	performance. Also, a student must be 
	present for all quizzes, tests, and 
	examinations.
	
	













	
	
	Honor Code
	







All homework, quizzes, and exams that are turned in 
for credit should contain either the honor code pledge 
written out completely, or the words "Honor Pledge" 
written next to your signature. Collaboration with others 
is permissible on homework assignments only.
