If circumstances cause you to miss, YOU are responsiblefor material due, concepts covered, and assignments given!Other comments and advice• Calculators may be used while doing your homework, but are not allowed in quizzesand exams. So, practice not to be dependent on them for speed and accuracy on examsand quizzes.• Arrive to class on time. If you have a long walk between classes, let me know at thebeginning of the semester.• While in class:- Do not talk during a lecture, or while other people are talking. Show respect foryour classmates.- Do not use cellphones.- Do not read newspapers.- Do not get up and leave during a lecture, unless in an emergency.Math is definitely not funny, but can be a lot of fun with patience and practice.Penn State University, University Park Page
