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 6 quizzes will be dropped
from the class effective the date of the 6th miss.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all work is expected to be your
own individual, unaided (except by Dr.Westall 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.
Discussion with plants and non-human animals is permissible as
long as no humans are within earshot. Violations of this policy
will be subject to the penalties for academic dishonesty.

Late assignments will be subject to a deduction of n squared
where n is the number of days late. Assignments will be due no
later than 11:59pm on the due date. Weekend days count in the
deduction computation. The maximum deduction is 80 points.
