Grades: Your grade in the class will be based on the following weights:

Homework: 15%
Class Exercises and participation: 10%

Exam II: 20%
Final Exam: 35%

Homework: Homework will be assigned on Friday and due the following Friday at 6pm online. The homework will be done via the computer using the WedAssign program. You can login at https://www.webassign.net/login.html

Class Exercises: The class exercises are short sets of more conceptual problems that are done in class, usually in small groups.

Exams: There will be two exams during the semester and a final exam. The exams will be pledged and closed book. Calculators will not be allowed. The midterms will be held in class. The exams will be September 30th and November 11th.

Final Exams: It is the policy of the mathematics department that no final may be given early to accommodate student travel plans. We will not know when the final in this course will be scheduled for some time. Therefore, if you should make plans to travel before the end of final exam period, and it turns out that the final for this course is after your scheduled departure date, you will have to choose between keeping your plans and receiving zero for the final, or incurring the costs for changing your plans and taking the final at its scheduled time. Thanks for your understanding.

Note: Any student with a documented disability requiring accommodations is requested to speak with me during the first week of class. All such discussions will remain confidential. Students with disabilities need to also contact Disability Support Services in Ley Student Center.
