Exams: There will be three in-class exams and a cumulative final exam. Calculators 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. If you miss any one of the three regular exams for any reason, your percentage score on the final exam will serve as your score for the missed exam, and only the missed one will be replaced.
Quizzes: Beginning September 4th, there will be a quiz every Wednesday unless there is an exam that week. Some of the quizzes may be take-home quizzes to be turned in the next class period. Your lowest two quiz grades will be dropped at the end of the semester. If you miss a quiz for any reason, that is one of the grades that will be dropped. No makeup quizzes will be permitted. Calculators will not be permitted on quizzes.
Homework: Homework assignments will be given each night. I will sometimes collect the homework. 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 like and are strongly encouraged to work with other students, come to homework help hours, and visit the math tutors.
Remember: This course will be extremely challenging at many points during the semester. If you miss class or do not complete a homework assignment you will very likely fall behind and find it difficult (if not impossible) to catch up. Make sure you leave room in your schedule for coming to office hours and/or tutoring to get help completing the assignments.
