Evaluation
Class Attendance:Class attendance is the responsibility of the student, and it is the student's responsibility to independently cover any materials/he may miss. Class attendance and participation may also be used in determining grades.

A 90% - 100%
B 80% - 89%
C 70% - 79%
D 60% - 69%
Honor Policy:
Cheating will not be tolerated. Any student caught cheating will be given a zero on the assignment or exam. Repeat offenders will be given an F for the course and may suffer expulsion from the university. All work must be your own. You may discuss the material in the course and help one another, however, I expect any work you hand in for a grade to be your own. Plagiarism will result in, at best, an "F" for the assignment. A simple way to avoid inadvertent plagiarism is to talk about the assignments, but don't read each other's work or write solutions together. Keep scratch paper and old versions of assignments until after the assignment has been graded and returned to you. If you have any questions about this, please see me immediately.
