HOMEWORK: Homework will be assigned on a daily basis. These assignments will be collected when the section is completed (approximately once per week) and graded. There will also be several in class activities that will count towards your homework grade. Homework and in class activities will be worth a total of 100 points. To compute your homework grade I will deduct 10% of the possible points and use that number to compute your homework percentage. For example, if there are 300 possible points I will take the number of points you receive and divide that number by 270 instead of 300. Late homework is strongly discouraged. I will accept at most 2 late assignments during the semester. You must have an acceptable excuse for turning in late homework. “I did not come to class” is NOT an acceptable excuse. If you are unable to attend class either have a friend bring in the assignment to class or drop the assignment off in the Main Office (room 108) in the Math Department BEFORE class begins on the day the assignment is due. No homework will be accepted after the assignment is graded and returned. Homework is to be placed on my desk at the beginning of the class period.
EXAMS: There will four 100-point exams and a comprehensive final exam worth 200 points. Dates for the hour exams will be announced in class at least one week prior to the exam. The final exam is scheduled for Friday May 8 from 2 to 4 pm.
MISSED EXAMS: Make-up exams will be given only for an unavoidable and documented absence. The student must contact the instructor PRIOR to the exam to be eligible for a make-up. Otherwise, the student will receive a zero for that exam.
