Daily tests will be given at the end of class and will cover
the material presented in the PREVIOUS class. Two COMPREHENSIVE
makeups will be given at the time of the final exam and
at least one grade will be dropped. No other makeups will
be given... so please do not ask. Any student missing 8 quizzes
will be dropped from the class effective the date of the 8th
miss.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all work is expected to be your
own individual, unaided (except by Dr.Westall or Ms. Gada) effort..
When you are directed not to discuss the assignment,
I consider this policy to have been violated EVEN IF YOU SIMPLY ASK
ANOTHER STUDENT IF SHE OR HE HAS STARTED (OR FINISHED) THE ASSIGNMENT.
The no discussion rule applies not only to other students in this class
but to ALL HUMAN BEINGS except Dr. Westall and Ms. Gada. Discussion
with plants and non-human animals is permissible.
Violations of this policy will be subject to the penalties for
academic dishonesty.

Late assignments will be subject to a deduction     Days   Deduction
of n * log2(n + 1)  where n is the number of          1        1
days late.  Assignments will be due no later than     2        3
11:59pm on the due date.  Weekend days count in       3        6
the deduction computation. The maximum deduction      4        9
is 40 points.                                         5       13
