Homework: Homework, as specified by our syllabus, will be
assigned nightly. Roughly the first twenty minutes of every class will be spent
going over the previous night's homework. 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 six (6) 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. 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 Monday April 30, 7:45-9:45am. The 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 academic accommodations due
to a disability may request such accommodations by providing a letter of
accommodation from the Student Success Center within the first two weeks of the
semester.
