Hourly examinations
There will be an in-class examinations during the semester.
This is scheduled for March 15.
Final examination
There will be a comprehensive final examination in May 1.
Make-ups
No make-up tests will be given, and no accommodations
will be made for a missed assignments. If you miss a test due to a documented
illness, family emergency or other extreme circumstance, the weight of
your remaining grades will be adjusted to compensate provided I receive
a written excuse within a reasonable amount of time
after the missed test.
Calculators
No programmable or Graphic calculators are allowed in the
tests. Only basic calculators are allowed.
If the calculator costs more than $15, you are buying the wrong calculator.
Assignments
Regular homework will be assigned weekly in your lecture sessions.
Your cumulative regular assignment scores will make up 35% of the
final course grade.
Your assignment must be neatly written with appropriate
discussions and stapled. Do not fold it or include it in envelope.
Hand-in assignments are due at the beginning of the class period on the due date.
Assignments that are not picked up in class the day I return them will
be kept in my office. Please stop by to pick up your old assignments.
Practice Assignments
Practice homework will be written on blackboard at the end of each section.
These are for practice only and will not be collected or graded.
If you have questions about them you may work with
your classmates, ask me for assistance, and/or ask some questions
during class. (We will not have time to answer all the
questions in class.)
Course grading
Each student's grade will be based on the individual grades
from exams and assignments. The approximate percentage weights
are as follows:

The grades will not be curved. That is, there is no quota for the
number of A's, B's, etc. that will be given for the course.

You should try to read the chapter sections before class on the day indicated.
Homework will be assigned weekly in the class, but not collected.
You should consider the homework
assignments as a minimal exercise. If you don't feel confident after doing
the given homework, please
do some additional exercises in the textbook. The more exercises you do,
the better off you will be.
If you have questions about them you may work with
your classmates, ask me for assistance, and/or ask some questions
during class. (We will not have time to answer all the
questions in class.)

to be honest and ethical at all times.
Students with disabilities needing academic accommodations should
1) register with and provide
documentation to the Student Development Services Office,
and 2) bring a letter to the instructor from SDSO indicating you need academic
accommodations. This should be done within the first week of class.
