will be dropped you will not be able make up quizzes.
Students who misses an exam without notifying the instructor before the scheduled date and time
will receive a grade of zero for that exam. Your final grade is based on total points accumulated,
class attendance, and class participation. All work is due on or before 11th of December 2013.
Cell Phones and other electronic devices will need to be put away the entire class time. If cell

be turned into the instructor by the given time frame or a zero will be issued for that assignment.
