Why do I have a summer assignment?

Because this is a survey course, we have many topics to investigate. Our 30-
week schedule requires us to make efficient use of our time.

Will I hand in my homestudy weekly?

Yes,I want to see how you are doing.  Each week you will hand in your 
corrected homestudy so I can see if you are getting the material.

If I miss a class with a lab, what should I do?

If you miss class, you may schedule a make-up lab with me via e-mail for the 
following week. I am available during the 4th class hours. Some labs 
can be completed at home and won't require this.

Why are most tests for class given at home?

Although test taking is a valuable skill, I think our class time can be 
better spent in learning the material and observing through labs.

Will we take Mid-term and Final exams?

Yes, it is important that you retain the information that you have learned.  
Many students becme adept at memorizing the material for a short time and 
then promptly forget it.

What about extra credit?

I will not rule out the possiblity of extra credit, however the students 
track record will factor greatly in to this option.  If a student is turning 
in all thier work on time and really tying and is just a little short, I may 
allow extra credit.  However if a student is consistenly not turning in work 
on time and has not diligently done thier work more than likely I would not 
allow them extra credit - they should concentrate on getting the 
required work done and done well.
