take the homework very seriously. If you do the homework you will also
find the quizzes and exams much easier.

Attendance will not be taken, but you are of course responsible for everything covered in every class.
There will be no make-ups for missed quizzes. Instead I will drop the lowest quiz score for each student.
Make-ups for exams require official documentation (doctor's note, letter from coach regarding away games,
letter from the Dean of Students, etc.).

Academic dishonesty is prohibited in all programs of the University, and sanctions may be
imposed on any student who commits an act of academic dishonesty. Details on UML policy
