Course performance is evaluated on the basis of class attendance, in-class exercises, four assignments,  one term project, and participation. Check the course schedule for the due dates.

Late Policy: All assignments are to be completed and turned in on time. Late assignments are strongly discouraged and the grade will be reduced by 2% for each business day that the assignment is late. If the assignment has not been received within seventh days of the original due date, you will receive a 0 (zero) for that assignment.
