COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

• Keep diligent notes (to be submitted weekly)
• Complete all assignments on time
• ​Students must be in class on time. Absences must be excused by the director of OABS or they will count against the final grade. Habitual tardiness and/or absences reflect a careless, indifferent attitude toward the subject matter wherein the student should examine his priorities to see if he is ready to take such a course.
• When a question is asked in class all students must reply, if you do not know the answer just say so, failure to reply will affect your participation grade. 

​

Tests will be administered about every 4 weeks. Tests are due back to the instructor by midnight on the Tuesday following class. Each test will be worth 50 points.

Class notes: Students are to submit notes with each test. 
Five points will be deducted for each day a test or assignment is late
