No late exams will be accepted without a medical certificate or proof of death in the family. I do not accept incompletes. 1) 1 st Midterm Exam (25%) on Friday October 2 nd 2) 2 nd Midterm Exam (25%) on Friday October 28 th 3) The final (comprehensive) exam (40%) is TBA (administrated during the final exam period) 4) Participation/ Attendance (10%) Attendance is mandatory. If you are not going to be in class, please let me know in advance, i.e. me before class. Class participation is strongly encouraged. Assigned readings are to be completed prior to class. If you believe you have the flu or flulike symptoms contact ASAP the Purdue Student Health Center at (765) With a medical certificate in hand, I could waive your missing classes from your record. Academic Integrity Absolutely no form of academic dishonesty in any of its various manifestations will be tolerated. I take this matter very seriously. Cheating, copying, plagiarizing, etc. of any sort will at the very least result in a failing grade for that particular assignment, and may result in a failing grade in the course, as well as a formal letter being written to the Office of the Dean of Students, informing the Dean of your misconduct. In short, it can make your life miserable. I strongly encourage you, if you are at all unsure about what constitutes academic dishonesty, to look it up at Ignorance on this matter is not a valid excuse. Disclaimer I reserve the right to change the contents of this syllabus and to change the schedule at any time. If changes are made, you will be notified in advance in class. * denotes that you can find other recommended readings on blackboard (on the same topic) if you are interested in.
