TEACHING METHODS
This class will be taught using online instructions. This means that guided exercises will be
conducted in class, with assistance from the online instructor. Some class time will also be
available for independent exploration by the student. Because of the size of the class and
the nature of the guided exercises, however, it is important that the student avoid
independent exploration during class unless instructed to do so.
EVALUATION TECHNIQUES
Grades for this course will be determined by attendance, as measured by completion of
exercises and assignments.
GRADING SYSTEM
Your final grade will be determined using the following criteria:
Satisfactory = 75 - 100% attendance.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
School policy requires your attendance in class and use of common sense should suggest
that it is to your advantage to attend class. I will not, however, penalize you for missing a
single class. You are responsible for any information missed due to an absence. It is your
responsibility to find out what you missed and to get any assignments for the next class.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKE-UP TEST POLICY
There are exams and quizzes, but there are several required assignments that I use to
check attendance. Late assignments will not normally be accepted.
