Ground Rules:
1. Students are expected to have a copy of any of the references. Lectures and exercises will be based on
the references.
1. The university rule on class attendance (Article 346 of the University Code) shall be strictly enforced
in the course.
2. If a student misses a short quiz, his/her grade in that quiz is zero. If a student misses a long examination
for a valid reason (this requires documentation), his/her final grade in the final exam will also account
as his/her grade for the missed exam. This applies to no more than one long exam missed. A student
who fails to take any examination for invalid reasons will get a grade of 0% for that exam.
3. Cheating, in any form, will not be tolerated.
