On-line interactions:
In addition to classroom lectures, this course will emphasize
on-line interactions. In fact, the instructor hopes to offer
this course (and other courses) by distance learning in the
future. Therefore, on-line interactions will be an important,
necessary component of this course. The course materials,
announcements and exercises will all be available from the
Internet. Impromptu meetings and schedule changes will be
announced by e-mail.
Attandance: There will be one point deduction for each class you fail to attend unless you inform the instructor in advance and provide proof for reason of non-attendance such as illness.
