Daily tests will be given at the end of class and will cover the
material presented in the PREVIOUS class. Two COMPREHENSIVE makeups will
be given at the time of the final exam and at least one grade will be
dropped. No other makeups will be given... so please do not ask. Any
student MISSING 6 QUIZZES WILL BE DROPPED FROM THE CLASS effective the
date of the 6th miss.  Attendance at lab is also mandatory.  Any student
with more than two lab absences will also be DROPPED FROM THE class.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all work on Major Programs
is expected to be your own individual, unaided (except by
Dr.Westall or the TAs) effort.. When you are directed not to
discuss the assignment, I consider this policy to have been
violated EVEN IF YOU SIMPLY ASK ANOTHER STUDENT IF SHE OR HE HAS
STARTED (OR FINISHED) THE ASSIGNMENT. The no discussion rule
applies not only to other students in this class but to ALL
HUMAN BEINGS except Dr. Westall and the TA. Discussion with
plants and non-human animals is permissible as long as no humans
are within earshot. Violations of this policy will be subject to
the penalties for academic dishonesty.

Late assignments will be SUBJECT TO A DEDUCTION OF N SQUARED
where n is the number of days late. Assignments will be due no
later than 11:59pm on the due date. Weekend days count in the
deduction computation. The maximum deduction is 81 points.

Disruptive/distracting behavior (including but not limited to
talking and sleeping) is not permitted in class. Offenders may
be asked to depart at the discretion of the instructor and/or
LOSE THE PRIVILEGE OF TAKING THAT DAYS QUIZ. Arriving 5 minutes
before the end of class to take the quiz is ACCEPTABLE (but not
recommended).
