EXTRA CREDIT POINTS
Students who wish may earn bonus points by completing outside work as assigned by the instructor. Please see your instructor early for bonus assignments in each unit. It would not be uncommon to raise your grade by one letter by completing bonus work in each unit. CD ROM Chapter tests are usually bonus consideration.

STUDENT STUDY GROUPS
Student study groups are encouraged for help in completing the Unit Study Guides and Oral Projects. Past experience shows that students who regularly study with others experience greater success in this course. Peer tutors are available free of charge, see the instructor if you feel you need help. Don't wait, ask early. Old exams maybe found in the Library under "Reserve"; PHYE 155, Mr. "K".

HONESTY POLICY
The student handbook outlines the CSI cheating/honesty policy. Cheating in this class will result in the student receiving a zero. In addition, the student may be asked to drop the class.

DROPS AND NC's
NC"s are not given by this instructor. To avoid receiving an F when your grade is 59% or below, the student must drop the class by the appropriate date in the semester (check the catalog). This instructor will not drop you after the third week of class; it is the responsibility of the student. Instructor consultation may help the process. Come and see me before the problem gets to this point.

ATTENDANCE
Attendance is expected and strongly encouraged. See Mr. "K's" Tips for Success.
