Excessive tardiness may count as absence.” [University Bulletin]

Please contact me as soon as possible if you cannot make one of the exams. Retroactive or last-minute requests for a make-up or of a reweighting of the examination grades will be ignored. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped, and therefore no make-up quizzes will ever be given.

Do all the homework, and then some. Calculus is not a spectator sport!
