(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 both Parent
AND Family Services). There will not be make-up tests for undocumented
excuses.

on the Webct website for the class. If you feel that an error was made
in the grading of your test you must present and explain the error

that.

Homework
Homework will be assigned each Wednesday
and due the following Wednesday. It will consist of a list of problems from
the book. All assignments are mandatory and there are no late submissions
or make ups. If you know you will be absent the day an assignment is due
you can turn it in early.
If you have questions on an assignment
(or about anything in the course) you have a few available ressources: you
can come to my office hours, ask your questions in the discussion board
of the Webct website for the class, send me an e-mail or you can get free
tutoring and help at the Mathematics Multimedia Center, located in HA 244
(http://www.math.ncsu.edu/mmc/index.html).
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 for 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 3 or fewer class days may drop their lowest test
grade. This includes a test missed without a university
excused absence. Note: Both excused and unexcused absences count against
this bonus.
