No make-up tests except in documented cases of medical emergency as reason for absence. There is only one section of this course. There will be NO LAB MAKE-UPS Reading •This is an advanced course and students are expected to do a lot of work on their own. Lectures may not cover all the contents in the textbook as listed below, but you will be expected to know the assigned material. Questions and discussion during the lectures are strongly encouraged. If you have difficulties, make use of office hours. •A lot of material will be covered in this course. Keep up-to-date. Read appropriate sections in the textbook before the lectures. No cellphone use in class (this includes texting) Calculators allowed in exam (but sharing calculators is not allowed) Academic dishonesty is prohibited in the City University of New York. Cheating, plagiarism, internet plagiarism and obtaining unfair advantages are violations of policies of academic integrity and are punishable by penalties, failing grades, suspension and expulsion.
