General Comments:
In graduate school, you will not necessarily always understand the material during the lecture. Look over your notes after class and try to understand every line. (You also need to study the text). If some issues are still unclear, contact me. You do not want to fall behind.
Make-ups:
Tests may be made up only in extreme situations, in which case, please have some sort of documentation. I will tolerate only two late homework assignments (with or without excuse) per student. You may, however, turn in homework early. No late project is allowed, and no make-ups for the final exam.
