Homework and Exam policy:
Homeworks are due in hard copy (not by email), at the beginning
of the lecture. Late homeworks will not be accepted.
Missing an exam implies a grade of zero in that exam, unless
there is a properly documented reason (e.g., medical with
documentation). Examples of non-valid reasons include
oversleeping, forgetting, discretionary travel (travel whose
timing is under your control, such as an interview trip), and a
host of others. Such policy precedents are difficult for an
instructor to deviate from without running the risk of being
accused of "treating people unequally" ...etc, so I hope none
of you will put me in that situation.
