Course Policies
Attendance: Attendance is mandatory for all class meetings. Absence from more than 10% of the scheduled class sessions (i.e., more than four absences), whether excused or unexcused, is excessive and may result in a penalty of a grade letter.
Work: Daily reading and homework assignments, approximately twelve quizzes, three tests, and a cumulative final exam. No late or makeup work will be accepted for credit.

Course Organization
Material will be presented primarily in the form of lectures. The material presented in each section builds upon the material covered in previous sections.
Some material may be presented in class that is not in the text.
You should attend class and take notes over the material presented.
Homework will be assigned from the text for each class.
You should plan on two hours of study outside of class for every hour in class.

Grading
No make-up quizzes will be given. Make-up tests will be given only in cases of well-documented extenuating circumstances.
Any student who scores 95 or higher on each of the three tests may exempt the final (and substitute the average score of the three tests for the final exam score).
All other students must take the final exam.
There is no provision for doing extra assignments to improve your grade.

Additional help:You can find help from the Math Lab's free tutoring service. No appointment is necessary.
