Since your academic calendar starts somewhat after ours you will have to add one week to each of the dates in the syllabus.  Hence, your first assignment is not due until Spetember 28.  Your midterm will be available from your advisor on October 26 and your final will be available from your advisor on December 21.  In both instances you will have to return the exam to your advisor three hours later on the same day.  The exams are closed book and are tobe your own work.
