EXAMS:        None

MAKE-UPS: Students must make arrangements in advance (the sooner the better) if they will not be handing in
homework on time.

INCOMPLETES: I will consider giving you an incomplete if you have successfully completed all but a small portion of the work of the
course and some severe, unexpected event prevents you from completing the course.
I cannot give you an incomplete simply because you are behind in your work; in the latter case you should try to drop the course.

S/U GRADE: If you are registered S/U we will submit a grade of S if your letter grade is C or above, and otherwise a grade of U.

PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING GRADES. The  grades will be computed in the following way:
50 percent from homework and 50 percent from projects.
