Other Important Informations:

The tests will have questions designated to reward those who do well on homeworks. All tests will be returned to you. If you have any questions about the grading of your test, please see me within one week following the return of your test. I will not entertain any question about your test following this period.
Occasionally, concepts and techniques will be discussed in class that are not mentioned in the textbook. Non-attendance will not be accepted as an excuse for not knowing these concepts if they come up on an exam.
Makeup test will only be given in the exceptional cases.
The minimum penalty for academic misconduct is failure in the course. I have been told that the following paragraph works wonders. Before returning your graded exams, I will randomly photocopy a number of these and keep them for my files. This is to prevent doctoring of answers after the exam has been graded and returned. People who do try doctoring exams should beware that there is a high likelihood of their exam having been xeroxed. In such an event, I will compare the exam answers brought back with that I have in my files.
