| Homework: | Unless otherwise announced, homework will be assigned each Tuesday and due the following Tuesday in class. It is highly recommended that students get extra practice doing similar problems by working supplemental problems from the textbook. The homework assignments will be posted on the web page on or before the day it is assigned. Late submissions and submissions outside class will not be accepted. In the calculation of the final grade, one homework assignment will be dropped. Homework that has been ripped out of a spiral notebook will not be accepted. |

If you know ahead of time you will be unable to make any of the tests at the scheduled time and wish to take the test at a different time, you must request alternative arrangements (which may or may not be granted depending on your reasons) prior to the test date. Once the test date is past, no make-ups will be allowed. |
