Each exam counts as 33 1/3 % of the total grade. Homework assignments will be used to decide borderline grades. Late homework will not be accepted. If you miss an exam you will be allowed to take a makeup exam only if you contact me prior to the time of the exam and get my approval.
As a reminder: The Tulane University Honor Code stipulates that ALL ACADEMIC WORK MUST BE THE RESULT OF THE STUDENT'S OWN EFFORTS.
