Guidelines

• Final grades will be determined almost entirely by performance on assignments associated with several of the weekly lectures. Each completed assignment is due before the start of the next class meeting.
• All late papers will be penalized one letter grade for each day late.
• Attendance is taken into consideration in the formulation of final grades.
• There will be no mechanism (extra credit, make-up assignments, etc.) to raise final grades.
• Miscellaneous nags: All cell phones, laptop computers, and other such electronic devices must be turned off.
