� Use Internet applications for e-mail, file transfer, remote access, and documentation delivery;

Required Supplies: A box of 3.5" High-Density (HD) floppy diskettes (prefer pre-formatted IBM compatible).

Attendance Policy: Attendance is expected at all class meetings. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to contact a classmate and find out what you missed. You are responsible for staying current.

Late Work Policy: Handing the work in late is better than not handing it in at all, but since the rest of the class was diligent enough to get it in on time, I will not give full credit for late work, unless the student has an �Excuse Absence�. I will accept the assignment the next time the class meets with a 25%.

Written Work: Handing the work in late is better than not handing it in at all, but since the rest of the class was diligent enough to get it in on time, I will not give full credit for late work, unless the student has an �Excuse Absence�. I will accept the assignment the next time the class meets with a 25% deduction.

Make-up Work Policy: Make-up work will not be given, unless the student has an �Excuse Absence�.

Test Policy: Tests are required to be taken on the date given, unless permission is given by the instructor prior to the start of the class in which the exam is given or the student has an �Excused absence�.

Withdrawal Policy: If you wish to drop this class, you may do so without instructor signature up a date specified in the Academic Calendar in the Course Schedule Book. After that date, you must obtain the instructor's signature. That will not be a problem. I will sign drop slips for any student for any reason, and you don't even have to tell me the reason, up to the last day of classes.
