| Homework: | Policy | Assignments | ||
| Exams & Grading: | "Cheat sheets" will not be allowed during the exams, but you will be provided with sufficient information for solving the problems without memorization. | |||
| There is an attendance requirement for this course: A student may not miss more than 6 hours of class or recitation in order to pass the course. Further absences may be compensated by completing assignments which will take much longer time than the corresponding class time. | ||||
