Preparation.  Follow the online syllabus: http://navsci.berkeley.edu  

Late Work.  Homework and papers must be turned in on time.   The mark assigned to late work will be (at least) several grades lower than if the work had been turned in on time.  I am willing to consider extensions if you make your request in ADVANCE.

Missing Work.  All work must be completed—even if it is late.  If you have not completed all the requirements of the course (Papers, Quizzes) by the last day of class, the grade for the entire course will be "F"

Fleet Standards.  I intend to treat you the way I treat junior officers in my wardroom on a ship.  I will expect you to give your best to each assignment.  I will be very displeased if you do not do your best.  Successful officers don’t do just “good enough” to get by…

Extra Instruction or ---just plain help.  There is NO LIMIT to the time I have to assist you.  I will spend as much time with you as you need—or want.  Drop by my office at any time.  If you want to make sure I am going to be free, call or E-Mail and make an appointment.  Midshipmen have first priority. You are welcome to call me at home.  You have my phone number and E-Mail; use them.

Absence and Tardiness.  If you are absent on a day a paper is due, send in the paper with a classmate or by E-Mail.  Expect me to pay close attention to absences.  Unexcused absences will result in administrative or disciplinary action.  Tardiness is not acceptable under normal conditions.  If you are late to class, ensure that you speak to me after class to explain the circumstances.
