<H3><A NAME="exams">Examinations</A></H3>
There will be two midterm exams, but no final exam.  The midterms are
listed in in the Approximate Outline.  Please advise me of any
conflicts with these likely exam times before the end of the second
week of classes.

<H3><A NAME="hw">Homework</A></H3>
There will be several assignments.  Many assignments will require the
review of material that is touched upon, but not covered in depth in
class.  Assignments will not be weighted equally.  The approximate
weights of each assignment will be specified when the assignment is
handed out.  Assignments will be due in class on the due date.  NO LATE
ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED, except under extreme non-academic
circumstances discussed with the instructor at least one week before
the assignment is due.
