Attendance I recommend that you attend every class. Those who attend class have a better chance of passing the course.

Homework I will assign homework. The homework will not be collected and will not be graded. The quizzes will focus on the homework assignments. You may work together on the assignments, it will probably help you to understand them. The homework will be reviewed in class.

Prerequisites

If you do not meet the prerequisites, you will be dropped from the course during the first week. Swap out of the course now to avoid late fees.
