(contact me if you have any question)

Your final grade will be assigned as follows:

Maple lab homeworks: 10%
WebAssign homeworks (450 points max):  10%

Final grades will be on the plus/minus system.
A+ = 98%-100%,   B+ = 88%-89.99%,  C+ = 78%-79.99%,  D+ = 63%-64.99%,      F <55%
A = 92%-97.99%,   B  = 82%-87.99%,   C   = 67%-77.99%,  D = 57%-62.99%
A- = 90%-91.99%, B- = 80%-81.99%,   C- = 65%-66.99%,  D-= 55%-56.99%

Attendance policy and the reward:

The attendance to the in-class tests and final exam is mandatory. There will be no make-up tests.
The only exceptions are either documented medical reasons, tragic event in the family or documented religious excuse.
If you are not able to take the tests/exam for any of the above reasons, please contact me before the test/exam or as soon as possible.

The attendance to the lectures is strongly encouraged, and the attendance sheet will be taken daily.
If you are late, it will be recorded as well, and if you are two times late it will count as one absence.
Students with 5 or less absences, will be able to replace points from the lowest graded in-class test with the points from the final (if they want).

Homework policy:

-Doing homeworks regularly and on time is the best way to learn material in calculus, and to be ready for tests and the final.
-For this course we will use WebAssign as a tool for homeworks.  
-All of the homework problems for semester are already posted, so you can plan ahead.
-I will inform you at the end of the class what area did we cover, and as a general rule, deadline for the assignment will be 2-4 days after we are done with the section. That deadline might be shorter in the special circumstances (like when the test is in the near future).
-Students should submit solutions using WebAssign and the deadlines will be strictly enforced.
-There are very useful guides to WebAssign here and here. If you have any questions or problems with this software, please let me know.
