Plusses or minuses may be attached to these grades at the discretion of the instructor.

 

Makeup Examinations and Homework:  Exams shall be taken at the normally scheduled time.  Exams must be taken early if circumstances such as athletic events conflict with the normal test time.  In such cases, arrangements need to be made at least one week in advance.  Late makeup exams are only given in case of a documented emergency.  Missed homework cannot be made up.

 

Homework:    Assigned homework has the following three purposes:  (1) To specify the material students will be responsible for, (2) To provide relevant examples for class discussions and, most importantly, (3) To provide material through which the student can enhance their knowledge of the subject.  WebWork problems are to be completed online and will be graded.  An additional list of suggested problems from the book is provided in this syllabus.  Suggested problems are for practice and will not be graded.

 

Disabled Student Services:   Anyone requiring accommodations for a documented disability should make arrangements through the DREAM office ´4134.

 

Academic Honesty:   Academic Honesty should be maintained at all times.  Any incidents of copying or cheating will result in a failing grade.  Please refer to the student handbook for a description of the Academic Honesty policy.
