Homework:

 

The scheduled reading assignments are expected to be read before the date of the lecture.  This provides for greater understanding during the lecture; and allows for participation and questions.  Generally, projects are due the week following the lecture.  It is necessary to keep up with your assignments since each new assignment is based on the previous assignments.

 

Late assignments will be accepted up to one week after the deadline.  Excessive lateness may affect your final grade.  Click the links in the Class Schedule section under the Projects/Assignments heading to go to the directions for each lab assignment.

 

 

Attendance:

 

Attendance is very important.  To quote the Cerritos College catalogue:

 

                "When the hours of absence exceed one more than twice the number of class hours per week, the students are considered to be excessively absent and are subject to exclusion from class."

 

Students will be dropped from the class if they are considered to be excessively absent based on the above criteria.  The only exception to this rule will be for authorized or excused absences as described in the Cerritos College catalogue.

 

For online students attendance is based upon actively participating, turning in assignments every week and completing exams.

 

 

Exams:

 

Exams will NOT be "made-up."  The only exceptions will be for authorized or excused absences or foreseeable absences.  If you know you will not be able to attend class on a day when an exam is being given, you may take it one week prior to the scheduled date.  You must notify me two weeks in advance to arrange to take the exam prior to the scheduled date.
