Grading: There will be three tests and a final exam. Each test will be graded on a 100 -point scale. The final exam will be scaled out of 200 points. The final exam is cumulative, but the focus of the exam will be the most recent material covered in class. Homework will be assigned but not collected as a unit. Instead, we will discuss several of these problems in class, and quiz problems will be taken directly from the assigned homework problems. Quizzes will be announced and administered in the classroom. I strongly suggest that you keep a folder consisting of class notes and completed homework assignments. The table given below shows the number of points reserved for each of the categories mentioned above along with the total number of possible points you can earn during the course. Your final grade will be determined by the percentage of total points that you earn. Earning at least 90% of the points will guarantee a score of A- or better, 80 - 89% guarantees a B- or better, 70 - 79% guarantees a C- or better and 60 - 69% guarantees D- or better.


\begin{tabular} {ll} Quizzes & $200$\space pts \\ Tests & $300$\space pts \\ Final & $200$\space pts \\ \hline Total & $700$\space pts\end{tabular}



No make-up tests or quizzes will be given, and no accommodations will be made for a missed quiz. If you miss a test due to a documented illness, family emergency or other extreme circumstance, the weight of your remaining grades will be adjusted to compensate provided I receive a written excuse within a reasonable amount of time after the missed test.


Tentative Test Dates: Oct. 1 , Oct. 26 and Nov. 16
Final Exam: Tuesday, December 14 , 4:00-5:50PM


General: I reserve the option of modifying these policies where I see appropriate as the course develops.
