Exams: There will be three in-class exams and a cumulative final exam. Calculators/PDAs will not be permitted on exams.

Exam Forgiveness Policy: All exams must be taken in class on the announced dates. If you take all three regular exams as scheduled, then the lowest one of the three scores will be replaced by your percentage score on the final exam, if this is to your benefit.

You will not be allowed to take any exam early or late for any reason, even a really, really good reason. If you miss any of the three regular exams for any reason, even a really, really good reason, your percentage score on the final exam will serve as your score for the missed exam(s), and only the missed one(s) will be replaced.

Quizzes: Beginning September 2^nd, there will be a quiz almost every Tuesday unless there is an exam that week. Your lowest two quiz grades will be dropped at the end of the semester. If you miss a quiz for any reason, even a really, really good reason, that is one of the grades that will be dropped. No makeup quizzes will be permitted.  Calculators/PDAs will not be permitted on quizzes.

Homework: Homework assignments will be given each night. I will usually not collect the homework, but I reserve the right to do so. Any collected homework assignment grades will either be included in the quiz grade or counted as extra credit.  For homework problems, you are welcome to use whatever technology you feel comfortable with (PDA, calculator, computer, slide rule, etc.) and are strongly encouraged to work with other students, come to homework help hours, and visit the math tutors.

Homework Checks: Before each quiz, we will have a homework check.  A full explanation of homework checks is on the next page.  Your lowest two homework check grades will be dropped at the end of the semester.  If you miss a homework check  for any reason (even a really, really good reason), that is one of the grades that will be dropped.  No calculators will be allowed during a homework check.  If you are viewing this document online, more information on homework checks can be found here.

Academic Integrity: Students are expected to be familiar with the Code of Academic Integrity in the Elmhurst College E-book and also with the statement posted at http://www.elmhurst.edu/~mth/acadint.html .
