There will be 3 hour exams during the semester, with the first one after we complete Chapter 3, the second after Chapter 5 and the third after Chapter 8.  That schedule depends on the rate at which the class progresses so it is subject to change.  The final exam will be given on Wednesday, Dec.14, 2011, from 1 pm – 4 pm.

Grading Policy:  Each hour exam is worth 18%, turn-in homework and quizzes count 18% and the final exam is worth 28%.  Turn-in homework assignments are due at the beginning of class on the day due.  No late homework will be accepted.  Practice problems will be assigned every day but do not need to be turned in.  However, doing well on the exams generally requires that students do the practice problems in addition to the turn-in homework problems. You are expected to attend all classes on time. If you have to miss an exam for reasons of illness or some other excused absence, please contact me prior to the exam so we can arrange for a makeup. Incomplete grades will be handled on an individual basis. I will honor all written requests by the Office of Disability Services for Students. It is my understanding and expectation that your signature on any exam or assignment means that you have neither given nor received any unauthorized aid.  Students may discuss assignments with other students in this section of the class and with me, but no other persons. Students are expected to write up their assignments individually.
