Rules of Engagement:

Personal Conflicts:
No special arrangements will be made for personal conflicts such as:
    Family related issues (weddings, visiting relatives, etc.).
    Work related conflicts: schedule, traveling, traffic, etc.

Special arrangements can be made, however, only in the most compelling and verifiable circumstances such as disabilities.

Disabilities:
Students needing special accommodations for testing need to inform the instructor as soon as possible.
Failure to do so will result in having to take the tests without special considerations.

Attendance:
Attendance will not be recorded. It is your responsibility, however, to be up to date in the progress of the course, dates for: homework, exams, and any possible changes made to this syllabus.
Please visit regularly this webpage since class information will be posted throughout the semester.

Lateness or leaving class early is unacceptable.
If lateness becomes a common problem, the instructor reserves the right to lock the doors.

Academic Integrity:
All work that you complete in this class should be your own.
Any form of cheating will result in an "F" and a referral to the Dean for further action.

General:
Disrespectful behavior such as eating or reading material not related to the course will not be tolerated.
Any behavior considered a distraction to those around you, including the instructor, will not be tolerated.
Cellular phones should be powered off before entering the classroom.

Participation:
Participation in class is encouraged. If you have a question, ask it! If you do not understand something, say so! Any question that will help you to better understand the material is not stupid. Because of this, I expect you to be patient and respectful of others who ask questions in an effort to do well.

Addenda:
The instructor reserves the right to make modifications to the syllabus. Any addendum will be announced in class (you are responsible for attending class during such announcements).
