Repeated absences may lead to a lowergradeintheclass. As a courtesy to the other students and to the instructor, the students should turn off the ringers for all cell phones during class and they should not answer incoming calls. If a student is expecting an emergencycall,pleasenotifytheinstructorpriortoclass. 16. Grading: Homework Homeworkwillbeassignedweeklybutnotcollected.
