Homework:
Homework is an essential component of the course and represents a significant portion of your grade. Assignments will be posted weekly in the syllabus section and are due in class on the specified due date. If you are unable to attend class, you must submit your homework to the instructor’s office by noon on the due date (place it under the door if the instructor is not present). Late submissions will not be accepted. You are encouraged to discuss problems with classmates; collaboration is often beneficial. However, the work you submit must be written in your own words. Please also include the names of your study partners on each assignment. Check your email regularly for updates and announcements.
