Extra Credit Assignment
If you are in section 431-200, you must do these assignements, which
count for 10% of your grade.
If you are in section 431-500, these are Extra Credit Assignments.
You can receive up to 15 points from them. To get credits, you must
hand in them before the corresponding deadline.
MAKE-UP POLICY: Make-ups for missed quizzes and exams
will only be allowed for a university approved excuse in writing.
Wherever possible, students should inform the instructor before
an exam or quiz is missed. Consistent with
University Student Rules ,
students are required to notify an instructor by the end of the next
working day after missing an exam or quiz. Otherwise, they forfeit
their rights to a make-up.
POLICY FOR ABSENCES:
Attendance on a regular basis is expected. While there are occasionally
good reasons for you to choose to miss class, my experience has been that
there is a strong correlation between attendance (as long as you are awake
and listening) and performance in the course.
For absence related to injure or illness,
students
who are absent from class three or more days should provide instructors with
confirmation from a medical provider for an excused absence.
SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY: Copying work done by others, either in-cl
ass
or out of class, is an act of scholastic dishonesty and will be prosecuted
to the full extent allowed by University policy. Collaboration on
assignments, either in-class or out-of-class, is
forbidden unless permission to do so is granted by your instructor.
For more information on university policies regarding scholastic
dishonesty, see
University Student Rules .
COPYRIGHT POLICY: All printed materials disseminated
in class or on the web are protected by Copyright laws.
One xerox copy (or download from the web) is allowed for personal use.
Multiple copies or sale of any of these materials is strictly prohibited.
