Grading

There will be two midterms, one final exam, homework assignments, quizzes and worksheets. The midterms are 25% each, the final is 30%. The worksheets are 5%, homework assignments are 10% and quizzes are 5% of your total grade. Late homework is not accepted. There are no make ups for worksheets or quizzes. I will drop your lowest grade from each.

Calculator Policy

On the exams and the quizzes you can use a scientific calculator. It should be non-graphing and not programmable. It should not have any calculus capabilities. Check for buttons with d/dx and the integral sign. Those are not acceptable. I suggest you use the same calculator when you do your homework assignments.

Week at a glance

Lectures are on MWF.

On Tuesdays, you will discuss your HW problems. You should go to Tuesday sections prepared to participate in class discussion. Start looking at the homework questions before the Tuesday sections. The homework assignments are due on Tuesdays by 11PM. You will submit your assignments online through webassign.

On Thursdays, you will do a worksheet in your quiz section. It is your responsibility to bring your worksheet to section. You can print them out week by week or all at once. If you finish early, you can ask questions and/or start working on your next homework assignment. There will also be a short quiz at the beginning on Thursday sections. Ask me on Wednesdays about the quiz question.
