(The Math Placements Test is scheduled at 5:30 PM in LeConte 412 on the following dates: Thursday,  August 19; Monday, August 23; and Wednesday, August 25. No appointment is necessary.)

 

Math Lab: The Math Lab  is a free tutoring service for all 100-level math courses. No appointment is necessary. (Opens Aug 30, operates Monday – Thursday:  11:00 AM - 4:00 PM at LeConte 101, and  6:00 PM - 8:00 PM at Bates and Towers dorm areas.)

 

Exams: There will be three 1-hour exams announced well in advance of their date (tentative dates
Sept. 21, Oct. 21, Nov. 18). Each exam will be worth 100 points. There will be no makeup exams.

 

Final exam: There will be a final exam worth 200 points on Wednesday, December 8 at 2:00 PM.
All students must take the Final Exam.

 

Quizzes: There will be a ten-minute quiz almost every week. The dates of the quizzes will not be announced in advance. Each quiz will be worth 10 points. There will be a total of 12 to 14 quizzes. Your best 10 scores will be chosen to constitute a quiz grade of a possible 100 points. There will be no makeup quizzes. Any missed quiz will be the one that you drop.

 

Homework: There will be homework problems assigned but not graded. Quizzes will be based on homework problems.

 

Grading: You have a total of 600 possible points: 100 points for each of the three 1-hour exams,
100 points for the quiz, and 200 points for the Final Exam. You will be able to drop the lowest
“100 points”. The lowest “100 points” may be one half of the Final Exam. This gives you a possibility of
500 points. Your final grade will be determined from these 500 points as follows:

450-500 (³ 90%): A       430-449 (³ 86%): B+     400-429 (³ 80%): B       380-399 (³ 76%): C+

350-379 (³ 70%): C       330-349 (³ 66%): D+    300-329 (³ 60%): D       000-299 (<60%): F

 

ADA: If you have special needs as addressed by the Americans with Disabilities Act and need any assistance, please notify the instructor immediately.

 

Academic Dishonesty: Just say NO. (For more information concerning academic dishonesty, refer to the Rule of Academic Responsibility and Academic Disciplinary Procedures).

 

Attendance: Regular class attendance is important. Consistent with the USC Undergraduate Bulletin, a grade penalty may be applied to any student missing three or more classes (10%) during the semester. (The "10 percent rule" stated above applies to both excused and unexcused absences.)

 

Cell Phones: All cell phones must be turned off during the class.
