REMINDER: There is never a penalty for asking. There is no shame in trying and
not succeeding; however, there is shame in not trying at all.

There will be a quizz every other Thursday (exept when there is an exam scheduled on that day).  All homeworks assigned will be collected on time.

Please silent your bipper/celullar during the entire lecture. Cheating is forbidden by university law and will not be tolorated.

Please NO MAKE UP EXAM.


There are many students who come to the Advising Center because they thought they were in and attended classes for which they were NOT registered or conversely stopped attending courses for which they were registered but thought they had successful dropped.   In the first case they lose the credits for work completed; in the second case they received F0s and are held fee liable for courses they thought no longer concerned them.  Both of these misfortunes could be avoided if student would merely review and print their class schedules to make certain the estimation of their current enrollment matches reality.

 Please   review and print your class schedule this week  and thereafter if any changes are made to it (e.g. add/ drop/ swap, etc.).
