COURSE POLICY:
 Attendance at all sessions is expected.

4
  Reading assignments will be made each period so that you can properly prepare for lectures. You will
be asked questions in class, so preparing for class is essential. Classroom performance is important in
borderline cases.
 All exams are closed-booked, closed notes. Calculators are allowed.
 Formula Sheets. You may bring in one cheat-sheet (A4 both sides OK) at each exam.
 Make-up Exams. They may be administered orally at the Professor's discretion.
