Group Assignments: Group assignments will occasionally be given in class or as take-home work. The assignments will involve problems somewhat more complex than routine homework. Grades will be assigned on the basis of Presentation, Completeness, and Correctness. The write-up of every problem should show (1) What was asked; (2) How you solved it; (3) What is your answer. Graphs should be carefully sketched on labeled axes.

Homework and Quizzes: Individual homework problems will be assigned daily. These assignments will be collected, and the grade will consist of a completeness and an accuracy part. You are expected to come to class EVERY day and participate by asking good questions and enthusiastically responding when called on.

Gateway (10% of final grade): There is a Calculus 2 gateway exam for this course. You have 5 attempts at passing the gateway, and your grade is a 100% for a pass and a 0% for a fail. Each of these will have 12 problems, which are graded right or wrong. No partial credit will be given. To pass the exam you must receive a score of at least 10.

Exams (51% of final grade): There will be three exams and a final in this class. These may or may not be night exams. See above for dates.

Final (29% of final grade): The Final Exam will be Thursday, December 18 at 8:00 AMin our classroom, Bakeless 107.

Review Session: There will be review sessions on exam days in a room TBA beginning at 5:00PM. I especially encourage you to take advantage of these review sessions for the gateway exams.

Make-ups and Missed assignments: No make-ups will be allowed unless you have talked to me before hand or if you have a school authorized excuse. You are responsible for getting any work that you miss if you are absent.
