Course Requirements and Grading Scale
All assignments must be completed as directed and turned in at the beginning of class on the day assigned. Late work will not be accepted.
Please note also that students are not permitted to "skip" any of the assignments, regardless of their grades on other work. Failure to turn in required work will thus result in failure of the course.
