Accommodations: Students who require accommodations and who have documentation from the Disability Services Office (874-2098) should make arrangements with me as soon as possible.
Examinations: There are four examinations. The first is on Friday, September 19 (on the material through 1.5), the second on Friday, October 10 (on the material through 2.4), the third on Friday, November 7 (on the material through 3.7), and the fourth on Friday, December 5 (on the material through 4.5). There is also a final exam scheduled later by the Registrar.
All exams are cumulative. The fourth exam and the final are open book exams (but closed notes). Books and notes cannot be used on the first three exams. Calculators may be used on all exams.
All exams must be taken at the scheduled time and place. There will be no make-ups for any exam except for university sanctioned reasons.
Grading: Your semester grade will be based upon your total score out of a possible 600 points (100 points for each exam, and 200 points for the final). You need at least 60% (360 points) to pass, and 90% (540 points) for an A-. I reserve the right to give unannounced quizzes if I see the need, and the grade for these will be added to or subtracted from the next exam grade.
Homework: Math is not a spectator sport--the only way to learn it is to do it. Although the homework is not collected and is not a component of your grade per se, it is the most important part of the course. I have supplied you a list of recommended homework problems for each section that we cover (HOMEWORK). These problems should be done soon after the associated material is covered in class. Some students will need to do more problems, but everybody should do at least the recommended list. You will also find class time more comprehensible if you keep current, and read the textbook—it is nicely written.
Attendance: You are expected to attend every class. Unannounced quizzes may be given, especially when attendance is low. Bring your book to every class.
