Exams:

The final exam will be comprehensive, emphasizing material after the last midterm. Make-up exams will not be given. If a test is missed for a valid reason, your total points will be prorated to reflect this change. The instructor must be notified in writing with appropriate documentation, preferably prior to the scheduled examination.

Cheating on an exam will result in a final grade of F for the entire course, will be reported to the Office of Student Affairs, and will result in additional disciplinary action by the University.

Homework:

Homework exercises will be assigned each class and—starting the second week of class—turned in every Wednesday during lecture (except during a week immediately after an exam). Assignments must be turned in during class and late homework will not be accepted for any reason. A current list of assigned exercises will be posted at this site. Each assignment will be worth up to 5 points; your lowest two scores will be dropped. Doing homework is essential for learning the material, so you are strongly encouraged to try as many of the exercises in the text as possible.

Accommodation:

     Reasonable accommodations are available for students who have a documented disability. Please notify the instructor during the first week of class of any accommodations needed for the course. Late notification may cause the requested accommodations to be unavailable. All accommodations must be approved through the Disability Resource Center (DRC) in Administration Annex room 205 in Pullman. 335-1566, e-mail drc@mail.wsu.edu.
