I expect you to come to class prepared to discuss the current material and homework. If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to check on announcements made while you were absent and the material covered in class. Contacting me or checking the course’s website might be good ideas.

It is strongly encouraged to work with others in this class, as this could help you to understand better the material taught.

Finally, while in class please turn off cell phones, pagers, i-pods, etc.
