Course Policies:

1. For this class, you will be expected to work on assignments outside of in-class time. This could include studying or doing assignments that are scheduled and are in canvas modules. You should expect to work 2-3 hours each week on assignments outside of class time. 

2. There is a no-cheating policy. All quizzes, exam, and assignments should be completed by yourself. If I catch you cheating, the assignment/quiz will result in a zero. 

3. You may bring food/drinks to class as long as it is not a distraction to other students. 

4. There is no attendance policy, but it is very important that you show up as this is when the chapters and assignments for the week will be explained.
