Attendance

Attending class is highly suggested either in person or online. I will note who is
absent each day. No makeup work will be given unless previous arrangements
are made. Further, you are responsible for any missed notes, handouts, or
assignments, etc. Otherwise, a grade of zero will be recorded for any missed
grades. In the case of extreme emergencies, contact me as soon as possible.
(call or email or leave a message) If you have a borderline final grade average,
your attendance, effort, and participation will determine your final letter grade.

Quizzes

There will occasionally be announced quizzes during any given time in a class,
as well as an occasional pop quiz. These may vary from 10 to 20 minutes or so.

R.P.P.A.

Further information on papers, presentations & assignments will be forthcoming.

FE Mock Exam

Vast preparation will be conducted for this required element of our course.

Final

The final will be comprehensive covering all topics discussed in this class.
