Please note
the following guidelines for the course:
Grades: Your grade will be based on your
performance on the following assignments and exams. I will give short
in-class quizzes and WebCT based homework assignments
that will contribute to your grade. To receive a C grade for this course
you must have a passing grade on the core final exam and a passing grade
overall. Your grades throughout
the semester will be posted on WebCT.

Quizzes/ Homework: There will be one in-class quiz every week.
Besides the in-class quizzes there will be
weekly homework posted on WebCT. You can attempt the WebCT
homework as many times as you want. The highest score among all attempts of the
homework will count. Please note that the homework will close at
To help the grader, please write your
quiz solutions neatly and clearly (no points for work that the reader cannot
follow- this is true for exams), and box your answers. Note that you will lose
points if your work is inconsistent with your answer. An incorrect answer
consistent with your work is worth more than a correct number, which is
inconsistent with your work.
The syllabus
lists also recommended homework problems. These are NOT to
be handed in. Keep all of your homework together in a folder so that if you are
having trouble in the course, you can bring it with you when you go to see your
instructor or get tutoring. The problems used on exams and quizzes are
based on these homework problems. Work as many as it takes for you to
understand the material.
Attendance is mandatory, and if you have three or
more unexcused absences, you may be dropped from the course. NOTE:
it is YOUR responsibility to drop the course if you decide to stop
attending. The syllabus contains bold-print notices that give the
deadlines for dropping the course or making other changes.
Calculators: Graphing Calculators are NOT allowed on
any in-class exam.
Missed
Exams/ Quizzes/ Homework: If you miss an exam, contact your instructor immediately and provide
a note (hardcopy or email) explaining your reason. Provide
enough detail so that the instructor can check your excuse. Make-up tests
will only be given if your excuse is valid. “I wasn’t ready
for it” is not a valid excuse. Be aware that make-up exams are more
difficult than the original exam. No exam scores
will be dropped. The lowest four quizzes and the lowest
four homework will be dropped. Due
to this policy there will be no make-up quizzes or homework unless you have a
valid prolonged absence.
Student
Behavior: Students are
expected to behave in a courteous and respectful manner towards the instructor
and their fellow students. Please be on time for your lectures, turn off
your cell-phone and refrain from talking or doing any other activity that could
be disruptive to the class. If you need to leave the class early, inform your
instructor before the lecture starts.
Disability
Statement: We will
accommodate students with documented disabilities. During the first two weeks
of the semester, those students should inform the instructor of their particular
needs and they should also contact Accessibility Services in Mesa Vista
Hall, Room 2021, phone
