Bonus points are added for very good attendance; grades are lowered for very poor attendance. This class has no excused absences but this should not affect people who attend on most days. See the Grades Web Page for more info including the section on computing your grade to see how this works. |

| 01/08/03 | Study Guide Version: The publisher goofed when printing copies of the current edition of the Study Guide. The current version of the Study Guide is Ver. 8.2, January 2002. However, the publisher mistakenly changed the year on the cover pages from 2002 to 2003. If you bought a Study Guide and it says Ver. 8.2, January 2003 keep it. It is identical to the Ver. 8.2, January 2002 edition except for the year on the cover pages! |
