HOMEWORK: Homework exercises will be announced in class, and they will be collected once each week. Your instructor will be grading the homework, and because he wishes to return it to you promptly, homework that is more than one day late may not be accepted. Homework papers that are one day late will be assessed a 20% late penalty. Oral presentations may be included in your homework.  Each day you must bring one typewritten question to class from the reading assignment.  Some of these questions will be addressed during the class period.  The questions will count as part of your homework grade.

Your homework exercises will be challenging, and you may need extra help from your instructor. Don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it!

MIDTERM TEST: This test will cover the lectures and homework exercises.

FINAL EXAMINATION: This comprehensive test will be given on Wednesday, December 17,at 2 p.m.  Attendance is required, so make your travel plans with this appointment in mind.
