Homework: Homework, as specified by our syllabus, will be
assigned nightly. Homework will be collected on the test days designated by our
course calendar. It will be graded while the test is being administered and
returned at the end of class. If for any reason you must be absent on a test
day, it is YOUR responsibility to see to it that I receive your homework before
or during that testing hour. Late homework will not be accepted for any reason.
Your lowest homework grade will be dropped.
Tests: There will be five (5) tests. Tests will be administered on the days
designated by our course calendar. After tests are graded and handed back,
students will be able to recapture 1/3 of their lost points by returning their
corrected tests on the day of the next test. Late corrections will be accepted only
if students are absent on test day; corrections will then be due on the day of
next attendance. Corrections must be made in red. Your lowest test grade
will be dropped. The point of this policy is to recognize the fact that
students are sometimes ill and/or need to take care of family emergencies. No
make-ups will be offered for any reason. Students who can anticipate an absence
on a test day may arrange to take a test earlier
than everyone else, but never later.
Final Exam: The final exam will be multiple choice and
comprehensive. Ours will be held on August 11, the last day of class, at the
usual time. Your
final exam may also be used to replace your second lowest test score.
Grades: Your final grade will be computed as follows:
|
Tests |
70% |
|
Final Exam |
30% |
Letter grades will be assigned as follows:
90-100 A, 80-89 B, 70-79 C, 60-69 D.
If your homework average is higher than 70% AND
your final average is 59, 69, 79, or 89, then you will receive the next highest
letter grade.
Attendance/Academic Honesty: Highly recommended.
Graphing Calculators: TI-83+ strongly recommended. TI-89, TI-92, Voyage 200 or any other symbol
manipulator will not be allowed on tests.
Students with Disabilities: Any student eligible for and requesting academic accommodations due to a disability is requested to provide a
letter of accommodation from the
