Grading:
The course grade will be determined as follows: 
16 %   quizzes (daily five-minute quizzes) 
64 %   tests (about five fifty-minute tests) 
20 %   final (the final is comprehensive) 
Letter grades will be assigned as follows:
90-100% A,    80-89% B,    70-79% C,    60-69% D,    0-59% F.
No WF's will be given.  Students dropping after the WD period will receive a WP.  The grade of I is given very rarely and only in cases of emergency.
Quizzes:

We will start most days with a brief "quiz" (usually less than five minutes).  This will usually be one problem directly from the previous night's homework.  You will be allowed to use your notes, but not your book.  If you have attended class and done all the homework, the quiz points should be automatic! 

These quizzes will be graded on a four-point scale: one point for your name, four points for the correct answer, and two or three for a partially correct answer.  If you are late, you will just get the one point for your name.  Students who cheat or answer a cell phone call may receive a negative score.

The four lowest scores will be dropped.  All of your remaining quiz points will be added, then converted into a percentage score.  Exceptions will be made for appropriate excuses, but you must let me know within two weeks and provide documentation.
Homework:
Homework will be evaluated through the quiz policy.  Click on the button to the right for the list of daily assignments.  (You can always go to my web page to find this assignment list.)
Tests & Final: The homework, quizzes and classroom examples indicate the type of problems that will be on the tests, though some (probably the final) may be changed to a multiple-choice format.  No make-up tests.  If you miss a test, you will be given the average of the following tests and final.  The final will be a comprehensive.  Review for the final by studying the hour tests, homework and quizzes.  You may not leave the room during any test.
Calculator:
A graphing calculator is required for this course.  The use of the calculator will not be taught in the course itself.  Calculators capable of symbolic manipulation will not be allowed.  You should check with your major advisor as to what calculator you might need in your major before you decide which calculator to use.
Syllabus:
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics publishes a syllabus for each of it courses which may be viewed in my office or on the departmental web pages.
