| Cell phone policy: | Turn off during class. |
Work Load: There will be daily reading and homework (not turned in), 12 quizzes, 6 Maple lab assignments, 4 tests, and 1 cumulative final exam.
Grading:
| Quizzes: | 100 points | (10 best quiz scores worth 10 points each, based on the daily homework assignments) |

Note: No make-ups will be given for any quizzes, Maple lab assignments, or tests. However, your two lowest quiz scores will be dropped, and if your final exam score divided by 2 is greater than any other 100-point component of your total score, then this quantity will replace that component.
