Tests:
Expect a quiz during the first 15 to 20 minutes of each class session. The lowest two quizzes will be dropped. There will be no make-up. If a quiz has been missed, it will be treated as the lowest grade. The average counts 50%.
Homework assignments:
See the attached assignment sheet. Ill collect them and grade them randomly. I suggest you make a copy if you need them back, because I keep some of them. They should be done on a 8ญญญ.5 x 11" paper with the following format: Full name printed on the left corner, underneath: the assignment number, then date. Show all work and circle the answers. Average counts 10%
Final Exam:
Counts 40%. Wednesday, May 7, 2008 from 2:00 to 3:50 PM. If a student averages 90% or better on all quizzes, presents homework assignments on time, and has perfect attendance, he/she may, at the discretion of the instructor, be exempted from the final exam. Anyone who asks to be exempted will be disqualified.
Attendance.
It will be taken every session. 75% minimum is required. Every time someone is late will be counted as ฝ absence.
Important Note:
Every hour in class requires 2 hours of study at home. So 5 hours of attendance and 10 hours of homework are expected weekly.
Homework: For success in this course completion of all homework assignments is critical. The attached list shows the assigned problems for each chapter. The assigned problems provide a good idea of the sort of problems to expect on the exams.
Class Etiquette: Students are expected to arrive at class on time, as late arrivals disrupt the class. If it is absolutely necessary to leave early, this should be timed to occur during the break period so as to avoid disruption. Also inform the instructor when you will have to leave early. Talking among students should be avoided during the lecture period.
Exams:A weekly quiz will be given during the first 15 to 20 minutes of each class session. The final exam will be comprehensive. Absolutely no make up quiz or test. The lowest quiz score will be dropped.
Grading: Quizzes: 60 %
Final exam: 40 %
A: 90- 00 B: 80-89 C: 70-79 D: 60-69 F: below 60
