Exam Schedule
Homework
Homework is due most weeks. Homework assignments are posted on the class website and Blackboard, they reinforce concepts covered in class. Extra credit will be available for the homework.
The homework will generally be in two parts: Numerical Questions and Essay Questions. Both parts will be submitted on Blackboard. For the Numerical Questions, you will be prompted to enter your answers. All essay questions must be typed and submitted as Microsoft Word documents files. The homework will be submitted on blackboard. No other forms of submission will be accepted.
You will be allowed to submit your solutions multiple times before the due date; the submission with the highest grade will count as your grade. All homework assignments have a deadline, no late homework will be accepted.
Expectations
Students are expected to learn both the material covered in class and the material in the textbook and other assigned readings. Completing homework is an essential part of the learning experience. Students should review topics from prior courses as needed using old notes and books.
Honor Code
You are encouraged to work together on the overall design of the homework. However, for specific homework assignments, all work must be your own. You are responsible for knowing and following Lehman's academic integrity code (available from the Undergraduate Bulletin, Graduate Bulletin, or the Office of Academic Standards and Evaluations).
Note: All incidents of cheating will be reported to the Vice President of Student Affairs.
Technology, Blackboard and Email
I will be using a Blackboard site for much of the class activities. Blackboard can be accessed through the Lehman website at www.lehman.cuny.edu. You will also need to have access to your Blackboard account. You can contact the IT Center if you have any problems accessing your account.
I will be communicating with you on a regular basis throughout the semester using your email address on Blackboard. You must verify that Blackboard has your Lehman College email address. You must check that email address on a regular basis. There will be no acceptable excuse for missing an email announcement.

Recording of Remote Classes:
Students who participate in this class with their camera on or use a profile image are agreeing to have their video or image recorded solely for the purpose of creating a record for students enrolled in the class to refer to, including those enrolled students who are unable to attend live. If you are unwilling to consent to have your profile or video image recorded, be sure to keep your camera off and do not use a profile image. Likewise, students who un-mute during class and participate orally are agreeing to have their voices recorded. If you are not willing to consent to have your voice recorded during class, you will need to keep your mute button activated and communicate exclusively using the "chat" feature, which allows students to type questions and comments live.
The link for the recordings will be made available in Blackboard
