Course Requirements
Homework and Weekly Homework Quizzes: Doing homework is the most important part of the class and will be evaluated through an online system. Please get help with your homework in office hours or at the Learning Lab.
- Homework assignments will be assessed through online homework system.
- No late work will be accepted. You must always be in class !
Exams: There are four exams and a cumulative final exam. You cannot use any notes, homework, or the textbook on any of the exams. See the class schedule for exam dates and deadlines. Let me know at least one week in advance if you need to take a test early.
- All students are required to take the final exam during the last week of class. Additionally, the final exam grade WILL replace your lowest exam grade.
Grading Policy:
Homework/Quizzes 20%
4 Exams 60%
Final Exam 20%
To calculate your grade:
0.20 (average HW quiz grade) + 0.6 (average exam grade) + 0.2 (final exam) = grade
A: 90-100% B: 80-89% C: 70-79% D: 60-69% F: less than 60%
