Attendance Policy
You are expected to attend lecture and to be present for scheduled exams and quizzes.

I do not give makeup exams. If you miss an exam or quiz and do not contact me in a timely manner, your grade for that exam or quiz will be zero. To contact me, call my phone number at school, 375-2116, and leave a voice mail message. Thank you.
Anyone caught cheating during an exam will receive a zero for that exam. Anyone caught cheating a second time will receive an F for the course.
