Tests will be taken in "Blue" examination
booklets. Each student must submit 6 blue books
to his/her recitation instructor before the first test. DO NOT
WRITE ANYTHING ON THE BOOKLETS. Your test will not be graded until your
blue books have been submitted.
Test make-up policy is in accordance with
the University policy (http://www.ncsu.edu/policies/academic_affairs/pols_regs/REG205.00.4.php) All anticipated absences must be excused
in advance of the test date. These include University
duties or trips (certified by an appropriate faculty or staff
member), required court attendance (certified
by the Clerk of Court) or religious observances
(certified by the Department of Parent and Family Services 515-2441).
Emergency absences must be reported within one
week of returning to class and must be appropriately documented
(illness by an attending physician or family emergencies by Parent AND
Family Services). There will not be make-up tests for undocumented excuses.

If you feel that an error
was made in the grading of your test you must present and explain the
error on the ouside of the test to the instructor within two class periods after the test is returned.
No corrections will be made anytime after that.

There will be no curves, no
retests and no exam exemptions.
Homework and Quizes
Homework will be assigned each day.
Problems assigned from the book are for your practice and will not be
collected. However, test questions and quizes will very often relate
to those problems as well as those from Webassign. Webassign homeworks
are mandatory and you are responsible for knowing the due dates. It
is extremely important that you keep up with the Webassign homeworks
as there are no late submissions or make ups. In order to succeed in
mathematics, it is important that you work regularly on solving problems.
Quizes will be given during recitations.
There is no make-up available for missed quizes.
Attendance
The attendance policy
is consistent with the Academic Regulations of the University. You are
required to attend both the lectures and the recitations. You are also
required to be on time, if you're late, you'll be marked as absent.
You must sit in your assigned seat in order fo attendance to be properly
recorded. BOTH excused and unexcused absences are counted.
As a bonus reward for students with good attendance records,
those students missing 5 or fewer class days may replace their lowest
grade with the final grade, if higher. This includes
a test missed without a university excused absence. Note: Both excused
and unexcused absences count against this bonus.
