from the class with no approval at all. After that date you must
petition your dean’s office to be allowed to withdraw.
Additional Policies:
(1) Make sure your homework is organized, legible, and stapled. If
the grader cannot read an assignment, it will receive a 0.
(2) Permission to write a makeup midterm may be granted in the
following circumstances:
(a) prior notice of a valid, documented absence (e.g. out-oftown varsity athletic commitment) on the scheduled date;
or
(b) notification of the instructor within 24 hours of absence due
to medical condition. Original written documentation, for
example a doctor’s note or letter from a coach, is required;
otherwise, a score of 0 will be given for the missed midterm.
(3) You are allowed (and encouraged) to work together on homework, but copying someone else’s homework and turning it in
as your own is considered cheating. Any form of cheating, on
homework or exams, will not be tolerated.
(4) Calculators will not be allowed in any exams.
ADA:
The Americans with Disability Act requires that reasonable accommodations be provided for students with cognitive, systemic, learning and psychiatric disabilities. Please contact me at the beginning
of the quarter to discuss any such accommodations you may require
for this course.
