Class attendance and extensive, regular homework practice are critical to success in this course. Students need to have 8-10 hours available weekly for study outside of class in order to succeed in this course.

Students who miss more than 4 classes may be withdrawn. After the withdrawal date each semester, neither the student nor the instructor may initiate a withdrawal. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate all withdrawals in this course. The instructor may withdraw students for excessive absences (4) or failure to meet course objectives but makes no commitment to do this for the student.

Incomplete grades (I) will be given only in very rare circumstances. Generally, to receive a grade of I a student must have taken all examinations, be passing, and have a personal tragedy occur after the last date to withdraw which prevents course completion.
