You must bring your CSUN Identification to all exams.
Exams: No notes or calculators will be permitted.
The final exam is cumulative. No "make-up" exams will be given. All students must take the final exam.
If you are ill for a midterm, you must provide a verifiable excuse written by a doctor on her letterhead or
prescription pad. In this case, you will be excused from the midterm and the final exam will be assigned a
larger weight to determine your grade. If an acceptable excuse is not provided, you will receive a "0" on
that midterm exam. If there is some other reason why you must miss an exam, you must obtain permission
before the exam, otherwise you will receive a "0."
Do not miss an exam thinking that you will be
exempt from this rule.
Writing assignment: Details concerning the assignment will be given in class. Late assignments will not
be accepted for any reason. You may discuss the assignment with other students, but each student must
turn in their own individual answer. Your answer cannot be copied from another student.
Straight letter grades will be given; no "+" or "-".
Students are expected to observe the student conduct code (see the CSUN catalog); any form of academic
dishonesty will result in failure in the class and full prosecution by the University. Students are also
expected to respect the rights of other students to participate fully in the classroom learning environment,
and therefore, are not to disrupt that environment.
Class attendance is not required. In accordance with the policy above, if you choose to attend class, you
agree that you will not leave the class early without prior permission of the instructor.
