Condition X. |
Each student is expected to obtain
a text for the course.
The student may choose which book he/she uses as a text,
subject to approval by the instructor.
Examples of suitable texts
will be named during the first class.
The student must bring his/her text to the professor for
approval on or before the fourth meeting of class.
This deadline will be extended 2 weeks for documented
hardship interacting with a bookseller. |
|
Condition Y. |
Each student should be absent from class no more than twice.
Additional absences will not affect your grade provided that:
|
[1] |
a doctor/nurse certifies in writing that illness
prevented attendance. |
|
[2] |
a UWW teacher certifies that a required duty
conflicted with attendance. |
|
[3] |
police/courts certify that a legal duty conflicted
with attendance. |
|
[4] |
the student gives written or electronic notice
two weeks prior to a religious obligation
conflicting with attendance; verification by a
religious official may be required. |
|
UNacceptable excuses include oversleeping, car trouble, dates,
undocumented illnesses, and work for other classes which could
be done at times other than Math 177 classtime. It is best to
use your 2 unexcused absences to cover situations for which
you might not be able to obtain an acceptable written excuse. |
| |
|
Condition Z. |
To fulfill this condition, you must
get a grade in the upper half of the class on the last and
only test, to be given during the last official class
period (before finals week). |
|
