MA 310 Mathematical Programming 2 - Fall 2025

If you miss class for any reason, it is YOUR responsibility to learn what was covered and obtain the notes from a classmate (the blank structured notes will be available on Canvas). Additionally, if you know you will be absent when an assignment is due (for guard, athletics, planned religious holiday, etc.), it is still YOUR responsibility to turn it in on time, which would typically mean either giving it to a classmate to turn in for you or turning it in BEFORE you are absent. Unexpected absences due to illness will be handled on an individual basis.

The following is the attendance policy at VMI. Academic excellence is best achieved through consistent class attendance. The maximum allowed percentage of class absences is 30%. No categories of absences (academic, athletic, guard, etc.) will be exempt from that percentage. When a cadet reaches 20% absences, the instructor issues a written warning, and the cadet must sign a receipt that he/she is aware of the absences incurred. Upon reaching 30% absences, the cadet is referred to the Dean for appropriate action. Typically, a cadet who exceeds the 30% absences will be required to withdraw from the course with a W or a WF. An absence is considered missing more than 20 minutes of class, sleeping in class, or being overly distracted/distracting during class. I reserve the right to mark you absent if I feel any of these conditions have been met.
