How to type your answer properly

Please, read the following page, https://www.myopenmath.com/info/enteringanswers.php.

Latepass

You can extend the due date of some homework if you use late pass before due date. After due date, you cannot extend anymore.

Online Attendance Policy (Read Carefully.)

An Unexcused absence result in 1 attendance penalty. One late mark (20 min after a class begins) counts as 0.5 attendance penalty. If you are present 50 min after a class begins or if you are present for 50 % of the class or less, then you will be marked as absent. To excuse your absences, a proper document with early notice is necessary.

If your attendance penalty is over 4, you may receive Failing grade including F, WN and WU.

WU grade policy(QCC): If a student attended at least once, and then completely stop attending any time prior to final exam week without officially withdrawing. (Do not miss the final exam.)

Grading

No make up exam, final. No late submission for class activities, homework, project

I will follow QCC Grading Policy (https://www.qcc.cuny.edu/registrar/gradingPolicy.html)
