| Attendance Policy: | Regular attendance is expected of all students. Attendance will be taken each class period. Students are expected to be on time and to attend the entire session. Students who miss 2 out of the first 3 classes will be automatically dropped. Students who miss 4 classes in a row before the midterm exam will be automatically dropped. If you arrive after attendance has been taken, check at the end of class that your attendance record has been corrected. In order to be recorded as "present" on the attendance record, students must be present during the entire class period. The instructor hands out corrected work at the beginning of class. If you arrive late to class, please wait until the class ends to ask for your work. If you are absent, you are responsible for all work, assignments, and new material covered in class that day. | ||||||||||||||||
| Grading: | The final grade will be the weighted average of the four grades given
for the homework assignments, quizzes, 3 exams and the final exam, by the
following weights:
| ||||||||||||||||
| Homework: | The homework is the most essential part of the learning process; do not expect to do well in this course without keeping up with the homework. There will be a homework assignment due at almost every session. Homework is expected to be turned in at the beginning of class, on stapled paper, written neatly and legibly. To earn a full credit, always show all work. A solution turned in without work shown will receive a maximum of 20% credit. All home work assignments should be turned in on graph paper. Since the instructor is going to be grading more than 100 hundred papers a week write as legibly as possible and circle your answers. Homework assignments will consist of problem sets. If the assignment to be turned in is more than one problem set, they should be stapled separately. Within a problem set please present the problems in the order they were assigned. | ||||||||||||||||
| Quizzes: | There will be a quiz given almost every week. For specific dates, please refer to the Course Outline. Before calculating the average quiz grade, the two lowest quiz grades will be dropped. | ||||||||||||||||
| Grading: | The grading of all
assignments, quizzes, and exams will be based on the following scale.
| ||||||||||||||||
| Make Up Policy: | Without exception, there will be no making up quizzes. To make up an exam, the student must notify the instructor in advance. Makeup exams will be different from the regular exams. | ||||||||||||||||
| General: | Before arriving to class, please turn off all pagers, cell phones, or other loud devices. Please try to arrive on time. Please refrain from talking while the instructor is lecturing. If you need an extensive review (for example, due to absence) of material presented in class, please see the instructor during office hours. Valuable class time cannot not be spent on assisting one or a few students to the detriment of the entire class. Office hours are designated to address these problems. | ||||||||||||||||
| Academic Integrity: | Any incident of academic dishonesty may result in actions from assigning a grade of F to expulsion from the college. For further information, please refer to the Student Handbook. | ||||||||||||||||
