You are expected to actively participate in this course. If you need help, you need to be responsible and get in touch with me. We are in this together! Yes, you will be expected to "attend" each live/online session! We will be meeting in "Teams"! Homework will be assigned. I expect you to do it! I am looking forward to working with you so that you will have a solid grasp on this important material. Having a solid understanding of this material will pave the way for a successful future!

We will have quizzes, a midterm examination, and a final examination. You will do the midterm and final live online with the instructress. Final grade for the class is based upon: Quiz Average: 40%, Midterm Examination: 30%, and Final Examination: 30%. My grading system follows: A+: 97% – 100%, A: 94% - 96%, A-: 90% - 93%, B+: 87% – 89%, B: 84% - 86%, B-: 80% - 83%, C+: 77% – 79%, C: 74% - 76%, C-: 70% - 73%, D+: 66% – 69%, D: 64% - 66%, D-: 60% - 63%, and F: below 60%. It is in your best interest to take every quiz and the final examination. If you miss any of these, you earn a 0% for it. The midterm examination and the final examination will be taken and submitted during class.
