Addendum –Winter, 2013
Attendance/Classroom Behavior

Regular attendance to classes is recommended. You are responsible for keeping track of handouts and any materials posted on my web page.( scs.senecac.on.ca/~libby.langer) If I do not have copies of
these materials available in class, you may obtain them from me at my office.

For the most part, I intend to post material.

I will keep you up-to-date via announcements on Blackboard (my.senecacollege.ca)

Consider attending class, even if it means that you are coming in late. However, please respect
the rights of your classmates by keeping disruptions to a minimum.

Cell phones are to be turned off when class is in session.

Tests and Exams

My expectation is that there will be two tests this semester; the first within the first seven week block
of the course (Week 6?), and the second during the second seven week block of the course (Week 11?)
. The test values will be 20% each for a total of 40% of your final grade.

The final exam will cover all the material for this subject and will be worth from 35% to 40% of your
final grade.

A medical note is required if illness prevents you from writing a test at the assigned time. In any case, I
would appreciate an e-mail to explain your absence.
Labs and Assignments

This component of the course has a value of 20%. These marks will come from an assortment of takehome assignments and in-class work.
Final Exam
The Final Exam will cover all the material covered in this subject throughout the semester.
