Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated in any form.
Grading policy is subject to change per syllabus.
You must submit every paper and the term project/paper assignment
to pass the class.
If you have an average >= 90% you will be assured an A.
Otherwise your final grade depends on the performance of the class as
a whole.
