Homework: You may discuss homework with others to
help understand the problems and material, but, are required to
complete your own homework. Homework is to be handed in
at the beginning of the lecture on the given due date. Late
homework will not be accepted unless accompanied by a written
explanation of why it is late, and even then may get half-credit.
Missed Exam Policy: Exams are taken at the scheduled class times and the scheduled final period. A missed exam will be recorded as a zero. Family deaths and extreme medical emergencies are handled specially.
Attendance: Since class lectures include material that is not included in the book, class attendance is required. If a class is missed, a student should make arrangements to get notes from other students. The importance of regular class attendance and good note taking cannot be understated.
Email: All students are expected to read their email at least once a day during the week for various announcements and postings.
Academic Honesty: All violations of the Georgia
Tech Honor Code will be handled by referring the case directly
to the Dean of Students for penalties.
